Some ideas are bigger than others, and the Master Idea—your company’s purpose—is the biggest. When Nike said, Just Do It, the company put a voice to the belief that human beings have no limits.

The Story of Purpose details a proven approach to engage and align leadership and associates, suppliers and manufacturers, a sales force and customers, and brands and consumers through a higher purpose.
The Story of Purpose offers a blueprint for creating timeless messaging and powerful actions for both internal and external stakeholders. Learn how to uncover what makes your company distinctive and discover the fundamental force behind your organization that no competitor can replicate or replace. Through stories of purpose and best practices from Procter & Gamble, McDonald’s, Newell Rubbermaid, American Standard, and many more purpose-driven companies, this book promises to help you guide, inspire, and transform your organization.
