Historically this was achieved via religion. Small-to-medium size startups can sometimes pull it off with the concept of a "mission", although that's probably less effective these days since everyone wants to "change the world". I think someone would have to be pretty naive to have a similar level of belief in the mission of a multinational corporation. Or they're high enough in the org chart that they don't have to worry about anything else.
