Being an effective leader is enormously complex. It requires vision to see a future, dedication to make things happen, sensitivity to people who are quirky at times, and personal confidence without arrogance.

Successful leaders are passionate and focus resolutely on growth.

“Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you.” - George Whitefield

"What do you need to start a business? Three simple things: know your product better than anyone, know your customer, and have a burning desire to succeed."

When organizations become purpose driven, they are not only more likely to succeed in the marketplace, but they create societal good. These organizations don’t just have any culture; they have the right culture that creates market value. #HR

When leaders are meaning makers, they inspire employees to do their best; make sure that customers receive not only a product or service and an experience with it but also a sense of purpose from the product; and build tangible confidence from investors about future success. #HR

When employees find meaning from their work, they not only find increased personal well-being, self-confidence, and physical health, but they are also more personally productive. #HR

When we connect with people, remember humor and playfulness, practice creativity and resilience, and go into work situations with a plan, we’ll find ample opportunities to practice the values and skills that get us closer to what we want our lives to stand for.

Leaders who are meaning-makers are aware of how their good intentions need to show up in good behaviors; how their interactions need to reflect their personal values; how their job as a leader is not just to be personally authentic, but to help others develop their authenticity.

When we ask workshop participants to identify leaders who shaped their lives, everyone can quickly name someone. These leaders generally model the principles of abundance in their personal lives and work to instill them in others.

"Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Volunteering & helping others gives you emotional, physical, & economic well-being. I often pause to ask myself, “Who can I help today? What can I do for someone else?” Many days, nothing much comes to mind; other days, I am reminded of opportunities to connect & give to others.

"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." - Woodrow Wilson

The most important thing #HR can contribute to employee well-being is a competitive organization that wins in the marketplace. Without winning in the market place, believing, becoming, and belonging become moot. And the failure rate of most organizations remains far too high.
