Leadership Tip

How to lead from the heart

Adopting an authentic leadership style can help you build better relationships and trust levels with colleagues, while creating an environment where employees feel comfortable being themselves. Try adopting these guiding principles:

  1. Focus on putting people first: Show compassion, and genuinely take into account feedback.
     
  2. Know your values: Ask yourself if you are championing the values you hold dear to your heart as a leader.
     
  3. Channel your purpose: This helps employees feel that there is meaning in the work they do.
