Your first step toward Alignment is to answer one basic question:

WHAT’S THE POINT?

This is your What. What goal(s) will you achieve? What outcome(s) will you generate? How will that outcome impact others? As you answer these questions, you have an opportunity to get clear on where you are headed.

Be specific. If you had to drive to a friend’s home, would you be more likely to find them knowing they live “somewhere on Elm Street,” or knowing they live at “620 Elm Street”? As you map out your desired destination, be sure that you are as precise as possible.

What does success look like? What does success sound like? The clearer you are as you describe success, the more likely you are to recognize it when you get there!

To work with a sense of purpose, we need to know the purpose of our work.
