(Below from the book, Getting to Us by Joe Curcillo)

People need to belong to something that gives them a purpose.
In any circumstance, be it business or battle, finding a place and feeling valuable to an inspiring bigger picture is the ultimate incentive.

When you give people an opportunity to be part of a vision that is bigger than them, bigger than the company, bigger than you, it galvanizes them.
Once unified in a common vision, they are more willing to put forth the effort to realize it.
Suddenly their work transcends the daily grind and becomes something greater.
It’s about being of service.
It’s about pride.
It’s about changing the world.

For people to “buy” into a unifying vision, it must represent a nobler cause, and it must give every team member the ability to see their role in it.
A big part of what gives a unifying vision its power is its inclusiveness.
For a unifying vision to have the power to move everyone in your organization to a higher level of performance, it must include everyone, and everyone’s role must be viewed and presented as essential.
