The first and most significant factor – with increasing relevance – is purpose.

Purpose in the context of organizational effectiveness is
the alignment of passion and talent toward accomplishing a shared mission.

Accountability refers to setting and maintaining high quality standards of performance and supporting and coaching employees to achieve desired results.

Employees need to understand what their job is and how it aligns with the bigger picture.

Trust – a belief in the reliability, authenticity, and consistency found in others and self.

Employees must be able to trust their teammates to effectively collaborate, immediate managers to support them, and their leaders to follow through on promises and expectations.

Resources are the materials, people, and information needed to get work done.

For employees to do their jobs to the best of their abilities and deliver on their contributions to purpose, they need access to the right resources.

Care is the genuine concern for and interest in others.

A strong sense of care – when paired with a strong shared purpose – can help create a strong sense of belonging.

When employees put forth a sincere effort to contribute to the success of the organization, they should be recognized.

Recognition is acknowledgement of contributions and performance that is timely and given in a way that is meaningful for the recipient.

Agility is anticipating change and then adjusting quickly in the midst of change.

The ability to adapt to new circumstances fosters resiliency, creativity, and innovation, and it is facilitated by having a clear sense of aligned purpose.

Development refers to professional growth through education,
mentoring, and experience.
