At any given moment, the different hats we all wear can feel quite heavy. Anyone who’s watched their daughter get “ghosted,” cared for an aging parent, had a fight with their partner, or fielded “the phone call” from their doctor no one wants to get, knows:

Understanding that our people aren’t just employees there to do a job – they are living, breathing humans with a WORLD of complexity hidden beneath the surface – sheds context on what it means to do our best at any given moment, which makes space to lead with compassion.

That means helping people take radical responsibility for their efforts and actions, THROUGH the lens of empathy and reliability.
Taking the pressure off of being right all the time to instead focus on curiosity and ask better questions goes a long way in creating a dynamic environment that meets us where we are and allows us all to be transparent.

Safe spaces allow everyone to be vulnerable, while also respecting healthy boundaries.
Courage is forged at the intersection of trust, confidence, and vulnerability.
๐ค When we lead with context, compassion, and courage, we create a safe space in which all people feel included, seen, and heard. When we feel included, seen, and heard, we EXCEL in our genius zones, amping up our effort and commitment to the place that meets us where we are.
This is how we get the best from our people: recognizing they are people first, and creating a culture that allows each of us to thrive.
๐ How have you experienced courage, compassion, and context in your own leadership dynamics?
