I believe the next great advance in #leadership won't come from another #management framework, performance metric, or #productivity tool. It will come when we recognize that employee #WellBeing is fundamental to human performance—and that people do their best work when they feel valued, trusted, supported, and genuinely cared about. This is the idea I've spent my career advancing through my writing, speaking, research, and #LeadFromTheHeart podcast. Treating people well isn't separate from building a successful business. It is one of the most important things a leader can do to make that success possible.

For years, Paula Goldman has held a job that didn't exist before she created it: Chief Ethical and Humane Use Officer at #Salesforce. She's spent that time helping one of the largest #technology companies in the world figure out how to build and deploy #AI in ways that actually earn people's trust, not just improve efficency. She's my newest podcast guest, and we talk about her new book, Manage The Machine, and her belief that technology should elevate human #WellBeing, not make people's its slave.

More and more, I think a lack of self-awareness and self-knowledge is one of the greatest #leadership derailers there is. When leaders don't know how they affect people and make them feel — and don't demonstrate any interest in finding out — their blind spots will eventually derail their careers as leaders. #LeadFromTheHeart #WellBeing #HR #Management

I keep seeing articles about improving employee #engagement and honestly don't understand why. These pieces offer the same advice that has made no difference in improving engagement scores worldwide in over a decade. The far more meaningful metric (and workplace attribute) today is employee #WellBeing. All companies should be focused on this -- no longer engagement! #Leadership #HR #SHRM #Business #FutureOfWork

I keep seeing articles written about how companies can improve employee #engagement -- featuring the exact same ideas leaders have been given for well over a decade. If companies were to ever have made engagement a priority we might see concrete improvement by now. It's time to stop talking about engagement and stop surveying people on it. It's also time to commit ourselves to elevating employee #WellBeing instead. #Hr #Chro #FutureOfWork #SHRM #Leadership

Great #leadership wisdom: Accept what is. The key to #Happiness is understanding that suffering is caused by resisting pain. Our emotional suffering is caused by our desire for things to be other than they are. ~ Kristin Neff #LeadFromTheHeart #HR #WellBeing #Management
