Purpose
If you’re going to do anything worth doing and want your company to do it with excellence, you need purpose. So why are you doing what you’re doing? Erik explains the purpose…of purpose.
Promise
Promise is a ritual. We’ve been making oaths for thousands of years. They allow for accountability, but they also suggest what is possible. Erik shares the importance of promise to a successful enterprise.
Place
Does everyone in your organization have “a place at the table?” Nobody can deliver on their purpose or promise without knowing and having confidence in their place. Erik unpacks what it means to have a place where you work and why you should care about it.
Top Performance
What’s the difference between being pretty good at something and being legendary? Erik believes it is holding yourself to the high standards of top performance.
