The Case for Human Centred Leadership

The Case for Human Centred Leadership

As we approach the end of the year, it is a good time to reflect and check-in with yourself and your team. Are you people centric in your leadership? Do you make decisions that always have the people you work with top of mind? If not, it may be time to realign your leadership style to be more human centred.

There are many benefits to leading with a people focus. Leaders should commit to creating a culture in which everyone may thrive, develop, and continuously innovate by fostering an environment where every employee can contribute their ideas, creativity, and passion. Below are three key benefits of senior leadership training that takes a human centred approach:

Improved Workplace Culture

organisation. Leaders set the tone and if they prioritise their team’s wellbeing, it will flow down throughout the company. A human centred leadership style can improve workplace culture by:

  • Encouraging employees to share their ideas and suggestions
  • Fostering a collaborative environment
  • Valuing employee feedback
  • Empowering employees to take initiative
  • Creating open communication channels

In a recent case study, Senior Project Manager at Down Syndrome Victoria, Madison Robinson spoke with us about their commitment to create a human centred leadership team and culture. The establishment of their Advisory Network ensures that the voices of people with Down syndrome are represented and that they are leaders within their organisation.

“Particularly with the work that I do…you can see the impact that you make in the community that you’re working alongside. And to see how the things that I’ve learnt in Dare to Lead™ that I can then implement in my workplace and then for other people to try and use. You can see the flow on effect that it has for people in our community.”

Enhanced Employee Engagement & Motivation

Engaged and motivated employees are key to any organisation’s success. Human centred leadership can enhance team engagement and motivation by:

  • Giving employees a sense of ownership and responsibility
  • Encouraging professional development
  • Recognizing and rewarding employees for their achievements
  • Supporting work/life balance

Increased Productivity & Innovation

A human centred leadership approach can lead to increased productivity as it allows employees to feel valued, appreciated, and supported. When employees feel good about their work, they are more likely to be productive. Embracing human centred leadership can increase productivity by:

  • Encouraging creativity and innovation
  • Fostering a positive work environment
  • Providing clear expectations and objectives
  • Giving employees the resources they need to be successful

Executive coaching is a powerful tool that can support leaders in their journey to becoming more human centred. Executive leadership development can provide leaders with the guidance, feedback, and accountability they need to enhance their skills and behaviours. Coaching benefits senior leaders, their team, and their organisation by helping them to create a more positive, productive, and innovative work environment.

Leadership is hard. But it doesn’t have to be difficult if you remember that at its heart, leadership is about serving others. Leaders who put their people first will always find themselves in a better position to achieve their goals. If you want to be a successful leader, focus on developing empathy and compassion for those around you. Remember that we all have different strengths and weaknesses – try not to judge others based on your own standards. Instead, work on building relationships with your team members so that you can help them grow into their best selves.
