You’re In Your Role to Make an Impact | Foundations Friday #103 is inspired by the article from July 26, 2023, titled How to Be a Purpose-Driven Leader Without Burning Out by Lisa Earle McLeod and Elizabeth Lotardo on the Harvard Business Review website.
Key points from the article:
- When you interact with your employees, ask how what they need to get stuff done
- Assist your team’s decision-making process through purpose-focused questions
- Put more of your time and calories into team members that will respond more
“Servant leadership was a crucial stepping-stone into a more humane world of work. But the next evolution is upon us. The workplace data (and our own experiences) tells us that we’re at an inflection point. We’re standing in a moment in time where leaders, both formal and informal, must move forward towards a more purposeful leadership style that focuses on the impact that the organization’s work has on real live human beings.” – Lisa Earle McLeod & Elizabeth Lotardo
Remember…
- Hope is not a plan
- Work a shared process
- No egos
- No silos
