Listicle: The 8 Management Behaviours That Do Most to Encourage Super Performance Written by Kevin Murray CMgr CCMI Thursday 27 April 2017 Share Share to LinkedIn Share to Facebook Share via email When leaders give their teams a greater sense of purpose, they drive up levels of happiness, engagement, and performance. Learning to be a more purpose-led manager is truly the low-hanging fruit of the productivity tree Most people think purpose is about a compelling statement that explains why you exist as an organisation.
