The Future of Work Starts by Leading with Humanity
Description
"If you don't have sympathy or empathy, you're not seeing the world of business through the lens of humans.”
In this Future of Work episode, host Rebecca discusses the key role of humility in leadership.
Rebecca explores the differences between a leader’s pride, arrogance, and even narcissism—all contrasted against the humble leader. Rebecca gets personal, sharing her own transition from a 20-year career to building her own path, and how this reflects on one's identity beyond traditional achievements.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Move away from defining your worth by your job title and achievements and reflect on who you are beyond your professional identity
- Be a leader who listens, reflects, and values the unique perspectives of every team member to help foster collaboration and respect within your organization
- Shift the focus from traditional business metrics to a more human-centric approach and create a business culture where every person's unique value is recognized
