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 other benefit, but also realize that, by touching lives, there's no greater joy in management.
A compelling, fascinating storyteller, Mike Losey, past-president and CEO of the Society for Human Resource Management, shares examples of how the lives of employees and their families have been touched by what he terms "people-centered leadership". This moving, humorous presentation provides audiences with insight into the tenets of people-centered leadership, one that takes "time out" to do the right thing for an organization's most powerful asset—its people—as well as an understanding of what it looks like in action.
