It is not about you today and it will not be about you tomorrow. It will always be about those we serve and lead. Be there…listen…make daily decisions to set others up for success. #humanisticleadership #LeadershipMatters

When we are talking leadership, we are talking about showing up so other humans can succeed. What is the #1 human skill we could all benefit from getting better at in order to truly show up for others? #leadership #workculture #listen podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Deep listening is our most important humanistic leadership skill. It builds shared understanding, engagement, and show empathy. #humanisticleadership

Humanistic leaders do not summit the mountain without their people. They connect with their people and together they decide the journey. There is no summit without your people. #humanisticleadership

What metrics do you have for quality listening as a leader? How do we know we listen well? Listening is a leader’s super power. #humanisticleadership

Gratitude is a powerful tool for every leader. This Dewitt Jones talk sums up gratitude so well. celebratewhatsright.com/tedx

Are we too busy to deeply listen to others? What do we need to stop doing so we can give attention where our attention should be…on our people. #humanisticleadership

Why do we listen? Curiosity? Delegation? Influence? Credibility? Relationship? Analysis? Insight? All of the above. #Listen #leadership

#leadership is never restricted by your title or job description. Nor do titles gift you your followers.

Do you create the space for your people to not only belong, but to truly make a difference each and every day? We show up so others can succeed. #LeadershipDevelopment #humanisticleadership

Leaders are listeners and learners. They lead through their people…not at their people. #humanisticleadership

If employee engagement is important, we need to clarify purpose and provide agency for all. Hiding or removing these makes our daily work meaningless. This can start with a conversation. #humanisticleadership

Are all ideas welcome at your leadership table? How do you know? When we assassinate ideas of colleagues, we create barriers that prevent us from creating the conditions needed for truth. #humanisticleadership
