Lead with your heart isn’t a cliché. It means leading with that part of yourself aligned with integrity, authenticity, and compassion. It connects leaders to others in authentic, meaningful relationships that result in respect, growth, and expansion on all levels; one that aligns the soul’s purpose with the work.
In many service industries, great people are working in broken systems. Some experience toxic cultures and competitive environments creating strife among the people we need collaboration with.
Building highly matrixed, functional teams is mandatory for sustainability and success. How are we going to get there amidst an unprecedented rate of change?
Disruption in multiple areas has forced many to re-think their business model and what is sustainable. This directly impacts staff and their belief in the organization. Through alignment of the organization’s vision, mission, values, and beliefs with departmental or unit strategies leaders build the foundation for employee engagement and furthering the customer experience.
Also, leaders become more aware of their impacts and effectiveness on those they lead. As they develop greater self-awareness skills they articulate and organize their priorities in sync with the business more effectively and organize their work and that of their team in more productive ways. Getting results!
