+ Which skills make you feel uncomfortable? Why is that?

💡 Leadership Top tips

Allow us to introduce our secret recipe for effective leadership – the '3C’s of Leadership' framework.
Let's break it down:

+ Capability: how a leader creates a high-performance team working towards the vision of the company and that individuals are sufficiently contributing and developing within their roles.
+ Compassion: how leaders bring a human touch to their leadership approach and use empathy to connect with and support individuals in their team.
+ Community: how leaders create connections and foster a sense of belonging within their teams, allowing people to thrive and succeed together.

When we balance all three of these, we create space for high performance, empathy, and connection within our teams. The perfect combo for happy, healthy employees who proactively contribute to a more productive and successful company.
