co-creating a positive workplace community where the focus is living in harmony with each other while driving success
co-creating a positive workplace community where the focus is living in harmony with each other while driving success
To lead with love and demonstrate care, leaders need to create a culture where people:
Understand each other: Working in diverse workplaces with colleagues from around the world can make communicating a challenge; even with good intentions things can get lost in translation. When we foster a sense of wonderment, and show genuine interest in our colleagues, by listening deeply to what is being said (and not said), asking curiosity fuelled questions, and creating time to hear about worries and concerns, people are more likely to feel heard, seen and cared about.
Accept each other: When people feel accepted for who they are and how they are, tolerance for each other increases within the organisation, leading to the co-creation of a more forgiving and peaceful work space. Acceptance of others grows from self-acceptance.
Trust each other: Being vulnerable takes courage. In an organisation where people feel ‘safe’ to ask for help and support, problems can be addressed, solutions are created sooner, and a culture of learning and growth is fostered, in place of a blame culture. Growing trust requires psychological safety to be integral, which means that leaders need to be confidential, good communicators, emotionally resilient and able to self-regulate.
Embrace difficult conversations: When people within an organisation feel safe and take brave steps into difficult conversations, issues can be addressed instead of ignored, and, if carried out well, the way people relate to each other can be improved. Holding difficult conversations requires a range of skills, including: empathy, active listening, compassion, and assertiveness, as well as being a psychologically safe person.
The 'Lead with Love' course, provides participants with the knowledge and practical skills to grow into a stronger heart-centred people.
