Refuel Energy with Purpose - Slowdown to Speedup

The current times create a lot of disruption and uncertainty. Many try to stick to old recipes and the old normal. Still, we know we are heading into a new normal, we are in the need to find new ways to be effective, profitable and valuable. This part of the journey can be daunting and paralysing. What can we do?

In situation of conflict, confusion, disorientation ​I always try to review the original objectives. What did we set out to achieve at the beginning? Often this purpose brings us back to the right direction and. Today can be an excellent time to review and reflect on the Collective Dream of our organisation. What was our vision at the start of your endeavour? What are our values? What do we as a team, as individuals stand for?

Why is this important in situations of uncertainty? Isn't it better pushing hard and running forward? Here are my thoughts around this:
  1. Giving people a purpose is stimulating their motivation and engagement with your company.
  2. The conversation about the vision, objectives, values, dreams will get people out of inertia and procrastination.
  3. Going back to your roots will also show the continuity and shine light into a bright future.
  4. Reflection on your values, capabilities, relationships will uncover new opportunities.

This Harvard Business Review article confirmed my thoughts around this topic. We might want to rush and run forward, though we might only run in the wrong direction and waste a lot of energy. Allowing yourself a pause, reflect on your purpose and then accelerate in the right direction will give you confidence to create value for the people around you.

When will you invest in reflecting your collective dream?
