THE IMPORTANCE OF A SHARED COMMON PURPOSE

Every good leader I have known understands instinctively the need to communicate to followers a common purpose, a purpose that comes down from the leader and is internalized by the entire team.  Armed with a common purpose, an organization's various parts will strive to achieve that purpose and will not go riding off in every direction.
