Workplace Well-being and Leadership
Do more than simply ticking a box- Make that tick mean something, to everyone!
Utilising the premise of Maslow’s Fundamental Needs Embrace Life facilitates the type of learning that makes for healthy interactions and work place relationships. The daily habits matter.
Managing or leading people is not about acquiring hard skills and experience, it’s about influencing a team, business, to utilise the best of their skills to support the company goals.
Leadership matters to individuals, individuals make up the workplace, therefore leadership has to matter to the workplace, and it does. Increasingly we are seeing studies showing the effects of people who cannot manage people, and those people get into leadership positions by being skilled at their role, compliant, or having length of service. None of these attributes indicate leadership skills. So why would you let a business be run and managed by people who cannot understand or connect with people? Business is about people and service, therefore leadership should be about people and service.
