Human-Centric Leading: Disrupting Today’s Infinite Loop of Undesired Organizational & Societal Results

Humans are born with unlimited potential

we’re:✤ Open ✤ Honest ✤ Trusting ✤ Imaginative ✤ Quick to learn ✤ Curious ✤ Present, in the moment ✤ Flexible with failure ✤ Risk taking ✤ Connected to self & others…

then, we create frames & assumptions that form our socialization…

✤ Humans are machines ✤ Motivated extrinsically ✤ Only logic is reliable ✤ Compete for a fixed pie ✤ Carrots & sticks ✤ Morality & business are separate ✤ Self-care = selfish = bad ✤ Nothing is connected ✤ People are inherently worthless ✤ Negative reinforcement ✤ Hierarchy is natural ✤ Success = visible achievements ✤ Blame & criticize for best results ✤ Shareholder primacy ✤ There’s never enough…

but, those frames & assumptions

create results nobody wants...

✤ Fear of failure ✤ Compliance ✤ Frustration ✤ Distrust ✤ Perfectionism ✤ Risk aversion ✤ Fear of judgements ✤ Dependency on external validation ✤ Feeling out of control

they’re rooted in today’s legacy industrial model, which assumes that…

✤ People = machines or cogs in a wheel

✤ Human capital + natural resources = commodities

✤ People = motivated by money, power, prestige

✤ Morality doesn’t add value

✤ Logic thinking = reliable

✤ Highest value = efficiency

✤ Fixed pie mentality

✤ Time = money

and create behavior that nobody wants…

✤ Reactive decision making ✤ Inflexibility, low resilience ✤ Disloyal employees & customers ✤ Compliance ✤ Top talent turnover ✤ Fear-driven competition + immorality ✤ Conflict avoidance ✤ Capped creativity & innovation ✤ Low accountability ✤ Stress, burnout

A new leadership paradigm solves these problems

and allows for uncapped potential for creative

opportunities…

Human-Centric Leading

Human-centric leading assumes what’s also been

proven by science…

✤ People = creative, conscious, dynamic

✤ Human capital + natural resources = irreplaceable

✤ People = motivated by invisible, inner needs

✤ Morality adds value

✤ Logic + emotions + intuition = reliable

✤ Highest value = humanity

✤ Expand-the-pie mentality

✤ Time = life

and responds to today’s complexity, diversity

& uncertainty…

✤ Changing workforce consciousness ✤ Political, economic & social system collapse ✤ Jobless economic growth ✤ Volatile financial markets ✤ Ever-fast technology speed ✤ Resource use faster than regeneration ✤ Immorality ✤ Increased conflict, disruption, war

and creates organizational results everyone wants…

✤ Congruent, sustainable decisions ✤ Win-win-win solutions ✤ Engaged staff ✤ Flow of creativity & innovation ✤ Collaboration ✤ Loyal employees & customers ✤ Top talent retention ✤ Quality effectiveness ✤ Diversity benefits

and experiences we crave

✤ Meaningful work ✤ Satisfaction & fulfillment ✤ High-energy ✤ Health & well-being ✤ Enjoyment of work & life ✤ Feeling calm & stable amidst uncertainty ✤ Creativity & vitality ✤ Trusting relationships ✤ Confidence with whatever life brings
