with a redefined mission
Clients, employees, shareholders, the entire community as a whole, have started to ask for higher goals from companies, other than their products and services in themselves. This is the search for meaning and significance in work, the new motivation 3.0 (Daniel Pink), a territory where maximizing purpose takes place together with maximizing profit.
People are no longer looking for just a job, they are looking for a vocation and a purpose (human fulfillment).
As Artisans of Common Purpose, our mission is to harmonize people (with their individual talents, values and aspirations) and organizations (with their systems, culture, values and business objectives), for maximizing both purpose and profit in the same time.
Since the very beginning, we have ventured together with our clients into the (then) uncharted territories of human resources consulting. Along the way, we managed to draw maps of Romanian organizations and the business environment.
In an uncertain and tense future, our shared challenge seems to be making these maps work within the broader context of humanity's need for structure and meaning.
In this context, old identities no longer serve a purpose; from here, it’s only a step toward reinvention. For us, redefining identity means, first and foremost, an authentic journey to discover (or rediscover) purpose in work and organizations. "Artisans of Common Purpose" may sound ambitious, eccentric, arrogant, or poetic. That’s not the point; it's just a beautiful and authentic metaphor for what we aspire to become.
Harmonizing individual vocations, needs, and aspirations with those of organizations, providing people with a sense of purpose (at an individual, team, or even organizational level), giving meaning to their work, beyond fulfilling business objectives – this is the role and challenge of the New Leader.
Equally, it is the role and challenge that we, too, have taken on.
