Dear Young Leader,
Think about the best leader you’ve ever had - the kind who made you feel valued, inspired, and on top of the world. Chances are, they didn’t solely focus on work, deadlines and endless meetings; more than that, they showed genuine concern and kindness at every opportunity. 📍The whole essence of human-centric leadership is creating an environment where everyone can thrive, feel empowered, appreciated, and be part of something bigger than themselves.
Welcome To A New Week 🤗 👏 😇
With October wrapping up, now’s the perfect time to embrace the October theory which is a time to reflect, re-evaluate, and recalibrate your goals for the year ahead.🎯
Today's Article Spotlight 👏 👏 👏
Let’s get real! Shall we?🤗 Now, this is a spoiler alert;🥴 Did you know that human-centric leadership isn’t always about been “soft” or easygoing all the time, it is rather about leading with integrity and purpose. However, the greatest asset of any venture is understanding and valuing the individual qualities and valuable potentials of people both customers and employees alike. This approach to leadership has become increasingly important, maybe because we have realized that people shouldn't just have to "suck it up" and that there's more to life than just work.
Before now, a good leader commands respect, makes big decisions, and inspires the team, but now, establishing a human connection is more important than ever. According to a recent Gallup survey, people need trust, stability, hope and compassion to be successful employees. The reality is that leaders are often so focused on the metrics that they forget they are dealing with humans with worries, frailties, strengths, weaknesses, and commitments outside of work.
Employees’ priorities have shifted dramatically over the last few years, both in response to the pandemic and as a result of the changing attitudes of younger generations. Younger workers are not motivated by stability and survival like their parents and grandparents were they want to work for organizations that prioritize ethics and their wellbeing and will proactively search for workplaces that can support that.
Here’s what makes a true human-centric leader stand out:
Authenticity: Allowing true self-expression and acting with purpose.
Empathy: Showing genuine care for the needs and wellbeing of workers.
Flexibility: having the desire and will to adapt working conditions to meet the needs of employees,
Consideration: building a good rapport with the team and respecting their views,
Listening: listening to the opinions of staff and building their views into future plans,
Team development: Creating opportunities for team members to progress and develop their skills,
Self-reflection: Understanding yourself as a leader and the areas where you can improve.
Transparency: Communicating openly and honestly and sharing the company’s challenges, performance and goals.
Finally, to become a human-centric leader, you must prioritize people and purpose over profit. That’s not to say money isn’t important of course, it is, but what is more important is recognizing that sustainable profitability comes from happy, healthy, and engaged workers rather than those who are burnt out, stressed and driven by uncertainties.
