Business is done for people, by people, with other people. Therefore, in today’s world, the most human-centered companies win.
In human-centric companies, leaders listen intently, with a deep understanding that people in the workforce are the sensors who pick up signals that change is necessary. These leaders think of team members as the source of creative new ideas, as contributors with crucial knowledge and insight, who test and implement solutions that meet valued customers’ needs. Not as subordinates who must do what they’re told.
A leader’s mindset – their core values and assumptions – drive their behaviors and, ultimately, the results achieved. So what values make for the most effective and influential leaders? Based on the decades of work from Roger Schwarz, smart leaders value transparency, curiosity, informed choice, accountability, and compassion. How do your values stack up?
