Fascinating to see how a quasi-religious theme, the notion of 'purpose', first brought to the fore by American ultraconservative evangelical pastor Rick Warren during the early years of the George W. Bush administration, has now been legitimized to such a considerable degree by top-tier business schools and major corporations. It is fascinating, yet extremely worrying, to see that in the post-Cold War era, multinationals that now occasionally or even frequently struggle with delivering on their core business capabilities and/or quality thereof nevertheless feel that their HR proposition should focus on the top of Maslow's pyramid. An interesting conversation indeed.
