How Can WHY work Better?


"I often feel like a musician who can't hear themselves play." -Gen Z employee

Everyone wants work to matter.


Employees want the joy of having impact.


Leaders want the impact to drive productivity.


Top value creators, from Apple to Tesla, show what can happen when purpose and productivity mesh.


Less clear? How to replicate such success.

Over half a century, experts' preferred practice-publishing purpose or WHY statements-has become a standard ritual among high-aspiration organizations.


Yet something isn't working.

  • Less than one in three leaders actually uses these tools.
  • Barely one in five employees feels engaged.
  • Productivity growth has fallen to historic lows.


This book proposes a bold new approach, the product of a unique five-year quest by two social scientists turned management practitioners. Combining years of field work with research insight, it reveals:

  • How humans' distinctive need for purpose has driven our flourishing as a species;
  • How the feeling has been dulled by modern work and life;
  • How tapping its power means going beyond mere words.


What emerges is a fresh perspective on what purpose-driven leadership really entails: less talking about your company's impact than helping employees feel their own.
