In this episode of the HR Leaders podcast, Cheryl DeSantis, Chief People Officer at National Veterinary Associates shares how embracing heart-centered leadership can transform organizations.
Cheryl explains how her personal journey of dealing with adversity shaped her unique leadership approach centred on empathy, courage and vulnerability. She argues that by bringing their full selves to work and showing authenticity, leaders can foster deep loyalty and connection with their teams.
According to Cheryl, aligning your actions with your values builds trust and strong relationships. She advises leaders to get clear on their core values and live them consistently. Demonstrating that you genuinely care about people as human beings, not just employees, is crucial for heart-centered leadership.
The soft heart is the thing we always feel we have to hide. I think even in leadership, we used to be told like in the 80s and 90s to not bring your stuff to work. I think what we have experienced in the past at least five years is people want to be seen, heard and respected.
Tune in for an uplifting and empowering conversation about the future of leadership. - Watch now.
