Telling leaders to care more about their people isn't enough. Organizations must make it possible, expected, and consequential for leaders to do so.
#FutureOfWork #HR #WellBeing #LeadFromTheHeart #Management
For decades, we’ve celebrated the “hero #CEO”—the visionary leader who personally drives transformation through force of will.
But what if that model is actually holding organizations back?
On my new #LeadFromTheHeart podcast, the author of The Catalyst @CEO, Constantine Alexandrakis and I discuss why the most effective leaders today have stopped trying to have all the answers.
I think this is where #leadership is headed.
Please don't miss!

A huge problem in most companies is that they've defined effective #leadership too narrowly: they evaluate and grade manager performance without adequately considering how results are achieved and what they do to people.

Are Companies About to Repeat Their Biggest Mistake With Employee #Engagement?
For years, organizations invested heavily in improving engagement, yet the numbers barely moved. Now, many are approaching employee #WellBeing as another #HR initiative.
I believe that's a fundamental mistake and explore why in my new @FastCompany article.

The #CEO of #AmericanExpress is the newest to announce layoffs because of #AI, but before #AI justifies eliminating any jobs.
They do this because no one pushes back on AI as the reason.
Says the #CFO:
The company's #leadership is seeking to "reduce layers and increase spans of controls, so that we can automate and take advantage of AI in the coming quarters and the coming years."

Even if the manager cannot solve the problem, it's always encouraging to be heard and to know you're not alone.

Treating people with dignity is not hard. It just takes effort.
It doesn’t mean you can’t make difficult decisions. You can. You just don’t have to be a jerk - which is what seems to be the common default.
If you have the feeling your organization doesn't care about you, you're not alone.
In 2020, 49% of US workers felt their company cared about them -- a percentage, per Gallup, that has fallen to an all-time low of 21% today.

Super cool! Something more important than the bottom line? It's not the most important. "People First" should be the focus. How about creating a workspace where people can flourish and grow? It's certainly not a given that you have to lay people off. Torani hasn't laid anyone off since the GREAT DEPRESSION! How cool is that?
#Torani Syrup hasn't had an employee laid off since the Great Depression -- including over the last 35 years under one CEO.
The philosophy is that finding ways to retain people when the company is under stress builds a more loyal, trusting and effective employee base.
It's an $800mm company that proves layoffs are never inevitable and always a #leadership choice.

JPM Chase CEO says he's a big fan of the #leadership example set by the fictional UK soccer coach, Ted Lasso.
He's an example of a leader who prioritizes curiosity, learning, humility and valuing the people around him.
Hmmm. Lots of #heart in this.

People are much more likely to help when you explain why you're asking.
For example, instead of saying, “Could you help me with this project?” try, “Could you help me with this project? I want to make sure it has your approval before Friday's deadline.”
The reason gives people context and makes it easier for them to say yes.

Per the WSJ, two-thirds of #CFOs admit to being taunted into doing something unethical, "I thought you were the kind of CFO who found a way."
Sadly, only half said they pushed back.
Fudge one quarter's numbers and they usually will be expected to fudge the next quarter's numbers as well.

My Bet: It's Not Socialism That More People Specifically Like.
It's a rejection of how capitalism is currently working for a lot of them.
Per Gallup, more Americans view socialism positively than at any point since they began asking the question in 2010 .
43% have a positive view of socialism, up from 39% last year and 36% in 2010,
Capitalism stands at 55% approval.

“Workplace leadership today demands a much greater understanding and appreciation of humanity—an expanded consciousness of what human beings need in order to flourish—along with a natural desire to support those needs.”
