Businesses and organizations that lead with purpose are more likely to attract, inspire, and engage stakeholders including employees, management, investors, and the community. According to Conscious Capitalism, Inc., "Purpose activates us and motivates us. It moves us to get up in the morning, sustains us when times get tough, and serves as a guiding star when we stray off course."
