Why Purpose is Important

A Leader Worth Imitating quote: "A leader’s purpose is the reason he leads. He might call it his goal, cause, or mission. Also, a leader might say it’s what gets her up in the morning. It’s the reason behind everything she does."

When I was in college, I would usually begin my papers and projects with a thesis. This is a section that explains the purpose of the assignment. 

It might seem monotonous to write out what you are going to write about. However, many of my professors argued that every A+ assignment has a great thesis statement. Similarly, I would argue that a great leader has a great purpose. 

A leader’s purpose is the reason he leads. He might call it his goal, cause, or mission. Also, a leader might say it’s what gets her up in the morning. It’s the reason behind everything she does. 

Think about it: What is the purpose, goal, cause, or mission of your leadership? What gets you up in the morning?
