The book Everybody Matters by Bob Chapman & Raj Sisodia presents many interesting concepts. This time round, I\u2019d like to share one, which from my personal experience, holds much truth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The most formidable energy in the Universe present in the human person is the power of caring.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Given the 50 over years working with and leading teams, I could not agree more with this proposition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Realisation<\/b><\/p>\n

I remember quite vividly one afternoon, many years ago. I was then the CEO of REAL Education, and I was having lunch with Mrs Manormany, the Principal of Sri Suria (a school under the REAL Education Group).<\/span><\/p>\n

I was livid. I was unable to talk sense to some of the administrative and teaching staff and the issues that kept cropping up were driving me bonkers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mrs Manormany was unfortunate enough to hear me dish out my frustrations, which she did patiently and emphatically.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of the conversation, I had a revelation of sorts. What if I saw staff as family members instead of people whom I encountered at work? In a family, we have disagreements but love and care precede emotions of anger and frustration and this always opens a path to amicable and positive resolve.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Ticks<\/b><\/p>\n

So, I began to change the way I dealt with the people I led and I realised that when I cared enough to understand what makes a person tick, great things can come to be, for me and for the other person.<\/span><\/p>\n

The book characterises this as humanising process and cultivating responsible freedom. As a leader, I have experienced that when we care and invite people to be part of a process, it creates value for everyone.\u00a0 To me, the recognition of the true essence of the human spirit is an important intersection in how we conduct business.<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope to develop this thought with you as we go along, but for now I sign off with the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. \n
        \n
      1. Can a corporate culture of \u201cMistrust & Insecurity\u201d be transformed into one of “Care & Fulfilment”?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Have you witnessed the extraordinary power of \u2018caring like family\u2019 within your organisation?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Share your experiences and stories with us.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Have a great week ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n
