We can practice humane leadership – even in environments as intense as a state legislature. Sharing this story from my colleague Tristan Toleno who worked in the VT State Legislature for over 9 years, including serving as Assistant Majority Leader in a role of "The Whip." (Tristan and I used to co-teach a class on Applied Systems Leadership for Complex Problem-Solving in an MBA Program at Marlboro College.) This article has the fuller story, featuring the Shared Leadership framework from Global Round Table Leadership - https://lnkd.in/eYswhhDm Tristan remembers one colleague who felt particularly isolated because of her steadfast commitment to opposition to the bill as the right position for her community. She knew that the majority of her caucus would vote in support and she felt targeted for her opposition by advocates within the caucus. Though they disagreed, Tristan prioritized taking time to listen and to hear her concerns. Soon after the final vote, she tracked him down to affirm his work to make space for her voice and everyone’s contribution mattered to her. Tristan recalls: "She appreciated that I didn't belittle her when she didn't give in to the majority pressure and that I allowed her to be seen and felt as fully human before her legislator role."   Eight weeks later, the bill passed. No major language had changed. Tristan's commitment to relating first as humans before role, status, or expertise improved trust and led to a strong legislative approach to this issue. “The classic understanding of the role of the Whip is that it is part of a status and power-based system to get people to do what leadership wants. Instead, I decided to practice one of the core PIllars of Inclusion of The Shared Leadership Framework™️-- leading first with our humanity, what exists at the core of us -- before relating through roles, status, and expertise. I honored the anxiety, the worries, the frustrations, that legislators were holding during a really tough vote,” explains Tristan. “Even though I didn't get her vote, I never made her feel diminished because I wasn't using my power over her to try to make her feel small or make her do what I wanted.” Congrats Tristan on your new role as President of GRTL! #sharedleadership #tristantoleno #grtl

Team members will come and go. Old racing teams will fold. New teams will be created. Teams will transition and transform. There will be winning seasons and losing seasons. However, what we did as a team with regard to the human connection -- whether it's mowing a widow's lawn, going on a retreat together, taking truckloads of bikes to Ronald McDonald House, having deep conversations at work, laughing uncontrollably at work, volunteering at the Charlotte Rescue Mission, , or simply giving a teammate space to have his final moments with a dying family member without having to think about work -- will live on forever. The work will always be there, baiting us with its superficial importance. We've made plenty of mistakes along the way, but we want people to look back and say, "We created a deeper sense of connection for our teammates." People generally forget the trophies, the flavor of the victory champagne, the bonuses, but they carry with them the memories of how they interacted with people. What can you do today to create a kinder, purpose-driven, connected workplace?

This year's #LearningDisabilityWeek theme is 'Do You See Me?' which is all about being seen, heard and valued. We've spoken to Keith, who is supported by one of our community hubs and is an active member of the Salford Listening to People forum. In our latest blog, he tells us what it means to him to be seen, heard and valued and how it's made his life better through the years : https://lnkd.in/edEMnUGj

Fufild's #HR - People & Culture | Youth Soccer Fields ⚽ & Corporate Culture: Lessons in Valuing Differences This past weekend, I had a series of contrasting soccer experiences. It kicked off with me coaching and supporting my 13-year-old son, Ethan, in Williamson County, Tennessee's recreational league. Their victory added a dash of joy and set a positive tone for the weekend. Immediately following, the momentum continued in Atlanta, where we cheered on my elder son, Simon, 16, and his elite TSC ECNL team, witnessing them secure victories on Saturday and Sunday against two top-tier state of Georgia ECNL teams. These varied experiences with my sons brought an important realization to light: while they play at different soccer tiers, my role as a parent remains anchored in treating them with equal importance. Soccer is but a slice of their multifaceted lives, and they each have unique personalities, skills, and strengths, enriching our family dynamic in their own way--each in an amazing and equally important way! Drawing parallels to Fufild's corporate culture & philosophy: My sons' diverse engagements with soccer serve as a testament to the varied strengths individuals offer in a business setting. Much like their differing talents on the field, every team member of Fufild showcases unique skills and competencies. Expanding this thought in a broader business context: Every department within Fufild functions like a vital organ of a body. Their roles might differ, but their significance remains undiminished. Whether it's a success story or a challenging phase, we respond as a cohesive unit. While salaries and bonuses might vary based on market dynamics, our commitment to treating everyone with respect and equality remains unwavering. Embracing this interconnected approach facilitates a harmonious work environment. I firmly believe that for Fufild to reach its envisioned success, every department must operate in unison, keeping our shared mission and goals in sight. At Fufild, it's not just about the role or title. It's about recognizing the unique value each individual adds. Our primary focus is on nurturing the array of talents and ensuring that every contribution is celebrated. #Fufild #FufildFamily #DiverseStrengths #ValueInVariety #EmployeeExperience #WorkplaceCulture #PersonalFulfillment #OperationsManagement #EmployeeEngagement #EmployeeRetention

Between the overly warm days draining energy and the blue sky just shouting for everyone to be at a beach, lake, or anywhere so long as it is outside it's hard to want to stay inside. Summer often presents challenges for companies looking to maintain morale, productivity, and engagement. Here are some strategies for making it through the season. #Summertime #Productivty #EmployeeEngagement

Hi everyone! Mark Maxfield here, CEO of The Cottages Assisted Living & Memory Care. Those who work for me know that culture is one of the most important things to me for my company. I hired a company President a little over a year ago, which has allowed me to work on the growth and culture of my company. Culture is often what you see, hear, and feel when you walk into your place of business. For me it would be one of our assisted living communities. Recently we had all of our community summer BBQs. I was able to go to ten of them and they were fantastic. I’ve been very impressed with how many people from our other communities showed up to help their sister communities. They assisted with preparing the meals, setting up decorations, and cleaning up. It involved a lot of work. So, my message for you leaders this month is, are you fostering an environment in your culture where people feel comfortable helping other people do their jobs? That means you have to be ok with cross training and cross supporting, so that people don’t feel siloed and like it’s a competition. It shouldn’t feel like a competition. Instead, it should feel like, this is our team. This is our company. How can we help each other to be successful? That’s one thing that I’ve noticed that is really improving in our company. I’m so proud of that and great job everyone! As a leader that is something you can look forward to as well. Making sure that everyone feels safe so that they feel like they can help everyone. In so doing, your entire company will be successful. See you next time.  #cottagespride #assistedliving #longtermcare #seniorliving #seniorcare #seniors #healthcare #improvelives #deliverqualitycare #caregiveroftheyear
