About this episode

The episode discusses the demand for purpose driven leaders and their alignment of business results with societal benefits.

In our last episode, we discussed the profile of the 2026 Executive as defined by a substantial executive search firm. We didn’t get to the last element of the profile: Purpose Driven Leaders: Those that align business results with a societal purpose: A broader benefit to employees, customers, vendors, communities, and perhaps the environment. As a business psychologist, I do think this leadership standard is real, but I’m a bit skeptical as to whether it is really in higher demand today. I’m glad we didn’t cite this Purpose Driven profile aspect last time because I think it deserves a full show focus today.
