“Leadership is a gift – a gift that requires you to set a direction; motivate, inspire, and develop others; and deliver results that matter.  It is also a journey.  It is about your experiences and the influence you have onothers.  Leadership is certainly about the work that gets done, but it is much more about how the work gets done and the relationships along the way.

“Our workplaces are full of human “doings,” not human “ beings.” So says Mitch Ditkoff, the man who spends his days trying to humanize corporate work environments.

“Most people tamp down their real selves when they go to work.  However, if you want to bring your ‘A’ game you have to bring your real self to work each day.  That’s the only way the best of your natural creativity will emerge.”

Human beings are thoughtful, inspiring, compassionate and creative, so why don’t we bring this into the workplace?
