Authentic Leadership Tips to Sustain a Global Recognition Movement with Sarah McVanel
In this episode, Roxanne and Sarah McVanel explore the importance of recognition in the workplace, remote work challenges, and the need for humanizing workplaces. They discuss innovative leadership, leading outside the comfort zone, handling organizational changes, and practicing authentic leadership. The episode concludes with simple steps to showing recognition.
Key Points
- Leaders stay connected to themselves by recognizing others, which allows them to look beyond their own needs and contribute to a supportive environment.
- Authentic leadership and vulnerability are essential, with leaders encouraged to share their own challenges and engage in collaborative problem-solving to foster a more connected and understanding workplace.
- Recognition in the workplace should be personalized, following the platinum rule of acknowledging individuals in the way they prefer, to ensure it is meaningful and well-received.
