Quote of the day:
recently conducted on 35,000 leaders from more than 1,000 companies in 100+ countries.
So, does selflessness mean becoming a push-over? Absolutely not! Paired with self-confidence it means inspiring and engaging your people. This is leadership for success in the long run.Compassion enables us to understand and take in the perspective of others. It’s different from empathy in that rather than taking on other people’s pain you stay rational and able to keep the bigger picture in mind. This way you empower to skillful action.
With this obvious statement in mind, it is heartbreaking to look at the data on the state of leadership in organizations. 65% of employees would ratherthan get a pay raise. And McKinsey & Company found that 77% of leaders evaluate themselves as being motivational and good at engaging their people. However, a study by Gallup found that 82% of employees find their leaders uninspiring.
However, having done research in leadership and supported many companies developing great leadership for the past decade, I am truly optimistic. I am observing a great change taking place. An increasingly greater emphasis is placed on developing positive values and behaviors, rather than just focusing on skills. And it makes sense, because leadership starts in the mind.Only when we have good self-awareness can we have good self-mastery.
