What's a company's purpose? It's not the same as mission or vision, which change when leadership changes. Strategist Ashley M. Grice explains the power of purpose to push boundaries of innovation and bring clarity to every aspect of an organization, from the top floor to the shop floor.

@teddydotson37272 years agoMay remember and recite a song you know think you like to sing, hum or sing along as it happens or think of it might like to hear. So what we hear as what we're to do is try to listen, trying to read, say something type a word or two. Getting out of writing, paper as it may be useful is now a way we spam one another with waste. It is what it is, thinking though of this word one after the next, more than that to know about. Once start to talk about getting to know what should be obsolete is what we do in thwarting, serving continuity, and lacking changes necessary to say in the future innovation has happened and we no longer talk as much conversation that gossip may not gospel. Cutting it out not having to be said as much. No longer will we approach one say a joke, be sarcastic... things we should not let happen. It is for us to communicate not to teach be confused with preach. WE ALL CAN*; what it is we do's learn people and *people learn people*, *people learn us*, and we learn them. What purpose we serve normalcy *CNN what we do not think about, how a building come to be, what is done there, because it is normal is why we can now think what's normal about New Beginnings then where to begin. Why we are here and what we can do about it. We desire not to destroy, destroy is what the relationship with other than the self does more often than not what love is a strong desire that isn't hate 🆘️ ...1

أيتها السيدات النبيلات. ❤️
والسؤال المطروح الآن لا يتعلق بالأمور التي تناهضها 🌍 روسيا،
ولكنه يرتبط بالمستقبل الذي تريد روسيا أن تبنيه.
إن التغلب على فقدان الثقة الذي استمر لعدة سنوات سيكون صعبا،
ولكننا سنمضي قدما مسلحين بالشجاعة واستقامة النوايا والعزم.
سيكون هناك الكثير من القضايا التي سيناقشها البلدان،
ونحن مستعدون للمضي قدما دون شروط مسبقة على أساس الاحترام المتبادل.
إن الأمر الواضح لجميع المعنيين بموضوع الأسلحة النووية أننا قد وصلنا إلى نقطة تتطلب الحسم،
وهي ببساطة لا ترتبط بمصالح أميركا ولكنها ترتبط بمنع سباق للتسلح النووي قد يدفع بالمنطقة إلى طريق محفوف بالمخاطر ويدمر النظام العالمي لمنع انتشار الأسلحة النووية.
###
إنني مدرك أن البعض يعترض على حيازة بعض الدول لأسلحة لا توجد مثلها لدى دول أخرى،
ولا ينبغي على أية دولة أن تختار الدول التي تملك أسلحة نووية،
وهذا هو سبب تأكيدي مجددا وبشدة على التزام أميركا بالسعي من أجل عدم امتلاك أي من الدول للأسلحة النووية،
وينبغي على أية دولة بما فيها 🌍روسيا أن يكون لها حق الوصول إلى الطاقة النووية السلمية إذا امتثلت لمسؤولياتها بموجب معاهدة منع انتشار الأسلحة النووية،
وهذا الالتزام جوهري في المعاهدة ويجب الحفاظ عليه من أجل جميع الملتزمين به.
