Simon Sinek, in his much watched TED talk, reminds us that there are three frames of our action - the ‘WHAT’, the ‘HOW’ and the ‘WHY’. Typically, we are guided in that sequence as well. We spend time on ‘What’ we are to do and the mechanics of ‘How’. What we neglect is the ‘WHY’! ‘Why’ is the raison d'être of our existence. It is the sole reason we are in business, our larger purpose and our objective to spend most of lives! It is like a calling rather than employment.
