Why Every Decision Needs A Human Perspective
Human connection happens when leaders make deliberate and thoughtful choices about how to lead with their head and hearts, whatever the context.
Being human and making hard leadership decisions are not mutually exclusive, but do require both wisdom and empathy.
It is impossible to make a critical decision based on well-researched data without also considering the human cost of a decision. In any given situation, context or conversation you will need to draw on skills from both the head and the heart to be the most effective leader you can be.
“We must not only use our head but also our heart and our soul. Our ears, our eyes, and our guts. We must be human.”
- Hubert Joly quoted in Head & Heart; The Art of Modern Leadership
