Which relationship is your most meaningful? To qualify what I mean by that, here's a definition: "Meaningful relationships are those that are deemed significant and include mutual respect, trust, interest, positive regard and making the other person feel valued". You might automatically think of a close friend or relative. It would make sense, since they are often the relationships we pour most of our energy and enthusiasm into. But this does mean that it's possible to have this kind of meaningful connection in the workplace, providing that you treat the people around you with: 1) Respect 2) Trust 3) Interest 4) Positive 5) Valued Are you creating meaningful interactions in the workplace?

Hello great leaders, In coaching over 100 people, I've noticed a universal desire for career fulfillment and balancing professional goals with personal well-being. Many seek new opportunities but face challenges in getting responses from organizational leaders, questioning the reasons behind this silence. Is it busyness, or does it reflect on company culture and professional etiquette? The lack of response to direct outreach can discourage individuals and raise concerns about a company's values and communication practices. This issue goes beyond job seeking, highlighting the importance of empathy and respect in professional settings. I'm curious about others' thoughts on why executives may not reply and how we can promote a culture that values every outreach, recognizing the person behind each message seeking growth and opportunity. #careerdevelopment #workenvironment #workethics

We often hear that it's not "if" we make mistakes, but how we handle them that truly defines our character. Recent research from the University of Texas sheds light on just how frequent our blunders are – at least three mistakes every hour we're awake! But what about those errors that involve others? Do we own up to them, or do we shy away, hoping they'll go unnoticed? These questions dive deep into the essence of accountability and humility. Amid our daily blunders, simple apologies hold immense power. They bridge gaps, nurture relationships, and pave the way for growth. Remember, it's not about excuses or justifications – it's about sincerity and empathy. As we navigate our professional and personal lives, let's embrace the humility to say sorry and the courage to make amends. Together, we can create a culture of accountability and compassion. #Accountability #Apologies #PersonalGrowth #Relationships https://loom.ly/JkuweDE Weaving Influence Labor Relations Institute | Approachable Leadership

As a CEO, navigating difficult conversations is an integral part of leadership. As these conversations often involve addressing sensitive issues, handling such discussions with empathy, clarity, and firmness is crucial. Having to terminate or lay off staff will be one of the toughest tasks for you as a leader, as it can have enormous negative impacts on people. You must approach this with empathy, transparency, and clarity, while providing support to those affected. If you have to confront poor or challenging behaviour in the workplace, then you must uphold the company’s values and policies firmly. It’s crucial to handle such situations with sensitivity to protect the company culture and ensure a fair and thorough investigation, maintaining confidentiality and fairness throughout the process.

Compassionate leaders exhibit genuine concern for the well-being & growth of others around them - be it their teammates or internal/external stakeholders. This is what their USP really is. It may not always be designed that way however they emerge as leaders with a difference. I've had the chance to work with quite a few of them and here are a few aspects that I observed in them: ↗️ Empathy, Kindness, and Respect They actively listen to others, try to understand their perspectives, and show genuine care for their feelings and experiences. They create a positive and inclusive environment where people feel valued and appreciated. ↗️ Understanding, Empowerment, and Collaboration They recognize that each individual is different and tailor their approach accordingly. They empower their team members by trusting them with responsibilities, providing autonomy, and encouraging them to take initiative. They create an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing ideas, collaborating on projects, and working together toward common goals. ↗️ Adaptable and Mentor Others They recognize that circumstances may evolve, and they are willing to adjust their approach to accommodate new situations. They are committed to the growth and development of their team members and hence provide mentorship, guidance, and opportunities for learning and advancement. These are a few of what I picked up - what would you like to add basis your learnings and experiences? #VivekKhandelwal #Workplace #Career #Leaders #CompassionateLeadership

It is normal to be wrong, regardless of your level in an organization or how long you've been working for. In fact, the more senior you get, the more often you'll find yourself being 'wrong' about things. This is actually a good thing. It means you are no longer the expert in everything and that instead, you've managed to hire amazing humans to work alongside you, who can help cover a broader and deeper perspective. Having someone tell you that you are wrong is actually a big sign of trust. It shows that they know you are someone that can be talked with. It shows that you can listen to understand and that you are open to different perspectives. Get comfortable being wrong, because the more comfortable you are, the more likely you'll avoid bigger mistakes down the line. #trust #leadership #career

One of the biggest compliments I've received, in the workplace that is 😁, is that I excel at building a trusting environment. One of the most important soft skills in my opinion, so here's a breakdown on how I create trust: - Open Communication: Give regular feedback, both compliments and constructive feedback. Request it back regularly as well. Apart from learning from it, this creates an atmosphere where giving feedback is a part of life. - Transparency: Be honest, trust your team with information and responsibilities. They will surprise you. - Consistency: Be reliable and fair. The longer you show this behaviour, the more trust it creates. 🔍 How do you build trust with your team?
