How Leaders Can Use Purpose to Inspire Inclusion & Trust

Continuing our focus on understanding and developing better leadership, Accelerate Cape Town has once again partnered with global coaching experts – Within People – in a four-part series to host a conversation with leaders across South Africa, US, UK and Asia to explore the importance of identifying and unlearning leadership patterns.

Growing businesses that people love in the 21st Century requires leaders to let go of many of the limiting beliefs that we have about the role of leaders, develop a deeper understanding of how businesses grow and thrive through their people. Our leadership series this year will focus on what leaders are unlearning about why business exists, what makes them sustainable, and what the essential qualities are for modern leaders.

Session 1: How can leaders use purpose to inspire inclusion and trust?

Leadership that includes and values everyone is the future of successful business. Clarifying WHY your company exists – its purpose – is a powerful tool for leaders to inspire their people and build cohesion in their teams. It’s not products and services that bind a company together. A company is a culture. A group of people brought together around common beliefs. In this interactive session we will talk about what leaders are unlearning about purpose in business, what organisational purpose is, and how leaders use it to create an environment where everyone thrives.

This breakfast session will combine insights from global conversations with interactive discussions on:

• What leaders are unlearning about purpose in business
• What organisational purpose is
• How leaders use this to create an environment where everyone thrives
