Purpose Leadership focuses on achieving an organization’s purpose, goals, and objectives through a strategic approach to fostering the proactive engagement of all stakeholders. The Purpose Leadership and Stakeholder Management Academy combines the expertise on Purpose Leadership principles from PurposePoint, producers of the Purpose Summit, April 29-May 1 in Charlotte, and the expertise of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance on stakeholder management.

To assess the benefits of the Purpose Leadership and Stakeholder Management Academy to your organization, click here to confidentially benchmark the maturity of your organization’s stakeholder management practices using the Omindex Workforce Assessment, one of the tools offered through the EEA PurposePoint Academy. 

The Purpose Leadership and Stakeholder Management Academy is designed for leaders at all levels of any type of organization seeking to master a new approach to people management similar to the principles that have transformed quality in manufacturing—a strategic and systematic approach to achieving purpose, goals, and objectives by addressing and harmonizing the interests of all stakeholders.

EEA Academy Expanded to Include Leadership Learning and Impact Measurement Tools 

 
The new Purpose Leadership program launches with two books in the EEA membership library, Helping People Win at Work, by Ken Blanchard, the world-known leadership coach, and Garry Ridge, WD-40 Company Chair emeritus, and Finding Purpose at Work, by Davin Salvagno, Founder of the PurposePoint community of Purpose Leadership coaches and solution providers, and producer of the Purpose Summit. These will be followed with two new learning modules on these subjects later this year. For a preview, click here for a recent EEA YouTube video with Ridge and Salvagno. 
 
In Helping People Win at Work, Blanchard and WD-40 Company leader Garry Ridge reveal how WD-40 Company has used Blanchard’s techniques of Partnering for Performance with every employee--achieving levels of engagement and commitment that have fortified the bottom line.
 
Through Finding Purpose at Work, author Salvagno addresses an equally important issue: how we find meaning and fulfillment in the work that we do. Even more importantly, how do we make a difference in this world through our work? When an individual, a team, or an organization has clarity of purpose, they can step forward with confidence knowing that the work they are doing matters, and that the time spent doing so makes a difference.
 
Based on the Academy membership tier—Individual, Corporate, or Enterprise and Engagement Solution provider--the benefits include:
 
Learning. Access to a library of selected books on all aspects of Purpose Leadership and stakeholder management from world-known experts, and a nine-part, regularly updated library of online learning videos covering all practical aspects of implementation and reporting based mostly on panel discussions rather than lectures.
 
Practical tools. In addition to an onboarding and/or training meeting for all new members, benefits include discounts at the annual Purpose Summit, held this year April 29-May 1 in Charlotte, NC,  while available; use of the People Value Impact Calculator, a platform used to easily correlate the impact of almost any people investment on organizational purpose, goals, and objectives; a discount Appreciation at Work certification and system implementation framework, free use of the Charity Choice charitable giving platform for not-for-profits offering a 15% fund-raising fee for qualified companies; an engagement widget for referrals and suggestions; and free job board. 
 
Thought leadership. Share yours or your company’s expertise with over 20,000 professionals per month focused on all aspects of engagement in our ESM media.
 
Grow the PieSays Ridge of the new collaboration on Purpose Leadership, “Putting together the new leadership qualities required today at any level of business with a system proven in manufacturing to harmonize the interests of all stakeholders toward a common, purpose, goals, and objectives, just makes sense, as we proved at WD-40 Company. What’s needed is the paradigm for a new type of leader and a recognized system like total quality management to assess its effectiveness.”
 
Adds Salvagno, “I think we have a trifecta here of resources for the Purpose Leader. A new paradigm of Purpose Leadership embodied in the PurposePoint training, a proven system for implementation from the Enterprise Engagement Alliance, and a blueprint for every individual to find their own path to purpose and the satisfaction that comes with purpose.”
