Touching Lives: People -Centered Leadership** |
Real organizational success is measured by more than a good balance sheet or profit & loss statement. Successful leaders are evaluated on how effectively they touched the individual lives of those within the organizations they led. In fact, a leader's ability to connect emotionally can often prevent the detrimental effects of organizational failure or - even worse - breaches of trust or ethical violations On the other hand, when leaders understand how to truly connect with their employees, they often reap the benefits of not only a successful organization where employees, families, communities and others benefit, but also realize that by touching lives, there's no greater joy in management. |
