Leadercamp on-demand: Leading for Excellence by VALUEing People
This is an On-Demand Leadercamp presented by Dr. Madana Kumar (Servant Leadership Evangelist, Thought Leader, Organization Builder, Author). There was a time when employees were considered and called “hired handsE We graduated from that term and started using the term “Human ResourcesE It sounds nice, but the question remained, “should we consider people as resourcesE Aren’t they human beings? Is there a leadership philosophy where people can be treated as human beings, and not Human Resources? This is where the need for human centric leadership philosophies like Servant Leadership, Empathetic leadership and Compassionate leadership stems from. The way we look at developmental investment in people gives us a clear indication of where we are on this Human Resource vs human being argument. Every leader is interested in the development of their team members. However, most leaders invest in development of monetizable skills of their team members. Skills that will give them the proverbial ROI. The harsh reality is that, when we only invest in the monetizable skills, we are telling the employees that they are “resourcesE Human centric leaders invest in the holistic development of people, thereby communicating the message that they value them as human beings, and not just human resources. Having established that, the question remains, how do we do this in a real-world workplace. That is where our proven VALUE framework comes into play. VALUE framework is where the leader provides the team with a Vision, Appreciates them, Loves them, Uplifts them and Empowers them. Dr. Madana Kumar’s Leading for Excellence by VALUEing People Leadercamp, will help participants apply the VALUE framework at work.
