The loss of humanity in leadership is disheartening. 6 weeks after suffering cardiac arrest my employer told me they were eliminating my job. And these are people that constantly pound their chest about how much they care for employees and culture. The great resignation is happening because people finally have said enough to being treated as resources and not as humans.
I rue the day when the Personnel Department became Human Resources. Arguably, what you tell of with your awful experience is the moment when leadership becomes management, when your organisation went from dealing with a person to dealing with a resource. Good luck with your future!
I am so sorry to hear that. Gosh..how awful that moment to hear their such inhumane decision must be...stay well and all the best wishes for your next career path much happier and brighter than in that garbage organization! Thank you for sharing your story as well~🙏
I had a phone call during the week with IT support where the guy who answered the phone was extremely happy, chirpy which really took me back. The culture in my workplace is one where grumpiness, lack of humour and very direct conversations are common place so this calm with IT support was a pleasant and welcome surprise. I spent 15 minutes talking to him about a range of things and by the end of the call I had completely forgotten why I rang in the first place. I asked him why he was so happy and chirpy? He replied “Because I choose to be” A thoroughly refreshing outlook and perspective and one which gave me a renewed enthusiasm
Spot on, Simon. Thank you. It's almost like some people think if they are cold and heartless in business that this will look better and lead to better results. The opposite is true. Who wants to follow a leader that is cut off from themselves and can't connect with other people, understand people's struggles and remove barriers to success? Humanity in business and government is the way forward. The sustainable, long-term, way, the infinite game. It also happens to be highly profitable, though not always right away.
I started joined a new company few months ago, opening converstion with everyone (in their field) with "I think I am not doing this or that the right way, can you please help me/ explain to me how it works"... Now everybody opens to me naturally, even with the things they know I can't help.
Takes a bit of time for people to get there.. but worth it. If played well creates really healthy environment. Love that feeling when they feel sense of security with me and open up their vulnerability :)
LOVE the new set piece over the last few videos!!! inspired a tonal shift in presentation. Couldn't imagine your thoughts becoming more profound but they have...you inspire us all and the aesthetics are part of that! Congrats!!!
I love the end where you reiterate that leaders don’t have to be better than their team at their jobs in order to be the leader. Leading is not only about being the best at everything and I’m thankful to have a leader like that
This message is for someone who needs to hear this and will fully understand it... You are not define by your circumstance or your past. It’s not what happened to you that determines your success in life; it is how you deal with those circumstances that determines your success in life. You are strong, you are capable and practice forgiveness (Forgiveness is for you; forgive your parents or anyone whom we have chosen to hurt us, to begin the process of healing and freedom. Remember: Forgiveness is for you to be freed, healed and happy. It’s a RESET BUTTON) and practice gratitude everyday. This will change the course of your life forever. Love you always and I believe in you wholeheartedly no matter what ✨❤️ - Nat
So many managers feel threatened if their staff are better than they are at something. Either it embarrasses them or they think the person will think they could do their manager's job better that the manager does so they feel they have to put them in their place. In that scenario staff tend to move on. I am fortunate enough to have a good manager with the leadership qualities talked about in this video at the moment but I have had a lot of bad ones too.
Yes ! There are 135 states of emotions or feelings and 7 basically, and to be better is very important to know that star : auto control, auto motivation, empathy, communication and remastering is reborn, understanding that we need to learn how to learn!
THANK YOU!!! You completely validated my thoughts on not having to be better than your people at their jobs. People sometimes expect that of you and I think it’s ridiculous.
That’s brilliant 😌 Thank you Simon for highlighting emotional professionalism. There’s also Brené Brown who says that vulnerability without boundaries is not vulnerability (I guess she meant it at work and outside work)
Great perspective!! Having emotional professionalism is what would lead to help teams within organisations to develop a friendly bond and strong emotional connect. One of most important traits that present leaders need and passing down this trait to their employees - helping the firm's work culture to improve truly within!
no music... much better 👏👏👏 and yes... if a person is promoted to a position they know how to do 100% ... then that person will be bored after 3 months. Promote someone who's 75% knowledgeable, but also provide them with mentors in the line that can assist with guidance
Sadly that fear is completely valid. I've seen lots of people get taken off promotion lists because they ask too many questions and it made them look incompetent. I am very careful who I ask questions. Some people are not as supportive as they pretend to be.
As someone who was "summarily dismissed" for going to my boss and saying, "You promised to train me when you hired me last month. I have received no training. I have no idea what I'm doing, & sports analogies don't cut it w me since I don't watch sports. When will I get trained?" I can see why certain people would get that way. Since I have seen the knives come out and go straight into their back when they expressed the slightest weakness & "bad day", I get that. Growing up w a mother who took every exposed belly as a target for denigration & criticism, that took some serious work to overcome & NOT be that way w my wife later. Biz isn't getting more compassionate. Coddling kids w Safe Spaces has opened the door to Cancel Culture & firing people for non-work related personal opinions / beliefs / skin tone / etc. The Culture WAR is just getting started.
Leadership is not a job; it's a principle. When leaders don't have any clue how to solve the problematic issues, they must definitely resign from their position and hand it over to other brilliant, talented, risk-taking counterparts who courageously embrace their vulnerabilities as moments of inspiration. In today's chaotic world, we are witnessing the spiralling out-of-control consequences of misleadership among many nations driven by those unqualified inapt leaders who arrogantly just stick to their high-ranking position. Hiding behind their incompetence, they don't even have the knowledge from whom they should ask for help, so they easily oppose any sharp critic as they find it a threat to their system.
You may show your vulnerability and ask for help unless the person who you apply to is agressive traumatic and he will try to take adventage of this situation. I think it doesn't work naturally because most of us had experience when showing vulnerability led to our supression and eventually to our own trauma. So one should choose a person he opens up to
I agree, on the other hand do you think some people are start asking for help without even trying to see the first step by step, first impressions of the tasks ?
Yes. But that could stem from many things and it may or may not be vulnerability or emotional professionalism. As a leader, you might need to look into it a little deeper and ask questions to determine which it is. Are they not trained enough? Are anxious? Etc.
I also hate scripts or generic responses used in customer service for different types of customers. haay, just today, i asked for a copy of disconnection form, very plain and simple request. i was given a long response to discuss the policy about disconnection, but never got the form. why can't they just be allowed to answer straight to the point. "Sorry, I'm unable to send it via email due to security reasons, but you can go to the nearest branch and they'll gladly provide you with one."
Thanks for sharing inspirational thoughts on working relationships and human interactions. Since we don't have any access to attend to your live sessions please consider to visit Asian countries as well. I am from Sri Lanka, I like to have your e-mail.
I understand what your saying, but one time I asked for help, and I was told: "you got his." I had to request a transfer from my boss to make them understand that I needed help.
According to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, Abu Akleh is the 86th Palestinian journalist to be killed by Israel since the occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza. 86!!! Yes ! They do!

Good morning ☀️
I agree with you, but only depending on the culture of the agency.
In the world of politics, that is by FAR not the norm.
