Business profits and growth make headlines, but a sense of purpose inspires companies and employees to work hard and achieve greatness. Nicholas Pearce grew up on the South Side of Chicago, excelled academically, and studied chemical engineering at MIT before shifting focus to leadership and organizational success. He cares about people and integrates roles as a Kellogg School professor, pastor, and executive coach into a single vocation. Many people search for jobs without considering purpose, and companies should be as purpose-driven as they are profit-driven. His book is The Purpose Path: A Guide to Pursuing Your Authentic Life's Work.
