I have had the pleasure of knowing Heather for the past couple of years and she is just an incredible human being who has just released her new book The Art of Caring Leadership, a practice, acitonable book using a blend of over 80 real life leaders and her own lived experiences to guide you through 9 key traits of Caring Leadership, a leadership paradigm that will allow for increased inclusivity, more fun and better outcomes for all.
“Caring leadership is showing concern and kindness for those we lead in consistent ways, it showing it, its expressing it, its doing, not a lets think, its not an I feel. Your employees are the end users of your leadership, they decide if you are a caring leader”
“If we are good humans, if we stand in our shoes and say I am going to do the right thing, I’m going to leave the person standing in front of me feeling cared for, feeling like I have seen them, like I’ve heard them, its so foundational. It is basic but you basically have to do it”
“If I had to boil it down to a kernel it is about being intentional, we can’t be caring leaders by accident”
“We can’t give what we don’t have, we can’t talk about recognition and listening if we do listen to ourselves, if we don’t give ourselves compassion. The least effective leaders moving towards this caring leadership journey are those that do not listen to themselves“
“You cant be empathetic well unless you are self-aware well”
