Why become a human leader?

Why become a human leader?

Human beings are complex. When you are able to understand yourself as a human leader, you can build on your strengths and then effectively lead others. In this podcast, Colleen introduces the concept of the human leader and why it is important. Bob Chapman was able to turn Barry-Wehmiller machine production company from a company that produces only machinery into a company that builds great people, enhancing their skills and providing opportunity to grow those skills by using the production of machinery and consulting to do this. By focusing on the human worth, that every human is unique and has value, they have consistently increased their shareholder value each year for the past 25 years. To recognize the worth in humans and to treat every person with respect and dignity creates an environment that agility and innovation can thrive. This podcast is a broad, general overview of this concept.
