Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
The Purpost Effect
Dan Pontefract · 2018
76/100
👍 Worth It
Dan Pontefract's three-layer framework — personal purpose, role purpose, organizational purpose — is one of the cleaner and more rigorous structures in a crowded genre, and he backs it with genuine research and real case studies. This is not a pep-talk book; it is a serious attempt to diagnose why so many workers feel hollow and what leaders and individuals can actually do about it. Worth the read for anyone in a leadership or culture role.
