My guest this week is doing amazing things for people and focusing on the dialogue of moving people forward at work. He has recently begun focusing on the value of humans, creating a community known as HumansFirst. One of the things he has identified is that we are in a current leadership crisis. But he has a potential solution for this.
Mike says that when we look at the condition in companies, there isn’t a lot of hope for positive change because, “While people want to do the right thing around them and the people that they engage with every day, they feel that they're encumbered by a structure and a system that doesn't allow positive change.” However, he goes on to note that he has learned over time that people will be able to move companies forward if we create a shift in culture to emphasize people.
When we look at corporate settings, it is clear that people drive productivity. Mike notes we must focus on the fact that “Business is people.” And when we do that, the business has the ability to change in a positive way and move forward. He notes that change is happening at a much quicker pace than in past years, and, because of that, companies must depend upon humans to move forward.
Until next time, lead well!
