Shared Purpose or Just a Slogan? When Vision Doesn't Reach the Floor

In this episode of Cultures from Hell, Lars Nielsen and Paulina discuss the critical role of shared purpose in organizations. They explore how purpose can either inspire or demotivate employees, the disconnect between stated values and actual practices, and the importance of consistency in embedding purpose into company culture. Paulina shares her journey in company culture, common mistakes organizations make when defining purpose, and practical steps leaders can take to translate purpose into daily actions. The conversation emphasizes that purpose is not just a slogan but a structural element that impacts employee engagement and overall business success.

Takeaways

Company culture is a calling, not just a job.

Purpose is about why what you do matters.

Disconnect between values and practices leads to disengagement.

People will act based on what they see, not slogans.

Purpose should connect to core values and human principles.

Confusing purpose with performance goals is a common mistake.
