Building Game-Changing Organizations - Aligning Purpose, Performance, and People

Overview

What you will study

Game-changing organizations rewrite traditional playbooks. They stand out. They often create disproportionate value relative to their size and resources. They have big dreams but know how to get things done. These organizations have a palpable "buzz" to them. They have a breakaway business model, but they also have a breakaway spirit and organizational culture.

Leaders of these game-changing organizations understand the power and importance of telling their companies' compelling stories. They are hard-edged business leaders who also embrace what others might consider to be the "soft side" of leading: purpose, vision, and climate. They know how to integrate the hard and soft sides of leadership into a powerful formula that makes them game-changers. With organizational alignment, these leaders and their organizations are purpose-driven, performance-oriented, and principles-led. The weaving together of these three capabilities simultaneously is what helps them get and stay out in front.

The Building Game-Changing Organizations - Aligning Purpose, Performance, and People course offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will discuss the importance of building an innovative company culture and learn from the successes and challenges of various companies that have been on similar journeys of transformation.
