Heart-Centred Leadership – What Leaders Need

We often talk about leaders supporting their teams. The focus is on developing ourselves as leaders and how we can effectively serve others. There are thousands of articles on how leaders might be better at leading, communicating and driving performance. In fact, I’ve written a few.
Yet, we cannot be good leaders if we are serving from an empty cup. If, as leaders, we haven’t taken time to reflect and look after ourselves, then our levels of energy deplete, leaving us in no place to serve. The past year has increased the demand for leaders to support their team’s mental health. Yet, support for leaders is one of the first costs to be slashed under challenging times. With this in mind, my business partner, David, and I have developed the Heart-Centred Leaders programme to provide this much-needed support to leaders.
In this blog, I’ll share some of our research on ‘What Leaders Need’ that we did as part of launching our Heart-Centred Leaders Community last year. I’ll also touch on how our new programme aligns perfectly with my work at Fearless Edge [Click here to learn more...].
