I like what you say about shared purpose, especially that is isn't a top down vocalization. Of course, as one of your other readers pointed out, the execs who understand this already do it and it's a tough teach to those who don't. Good to see you again, I've missed your input!

I don't put much stock in opinion surverys, especially in the workplace. A lot of folks confuse these opinion surveys with real scientific research on workers and performance and that is a big mistake. But this survey might tell us there is a crisis in leadership, which I would agree with. My post today is on shared purpose, and I think that is more important than any of this. Of course, it was not a question on the opinon survey.... http://www.bretlsimmons.com/2009-11/leadership-the-value-of-shared-purpose/ Thanks for reporting this.
