Business and human dignity are typically not terms that go together. Nevertheless the best leaders are able to lead with dignity, honor and protect the dignity of their stakeholders while respecting their own. To learn more about "profiles in dignity" you are invited to join Dr. Donna Hicks, a global authority on dignity in the workplace and beyond. She will preview her latest book (Leading with Dignity, Yale University Press) and we will have plenty of time for conversation and your questions.
Join us!Topic for this Conversation - Leading with Dignity (click for video clip)Everyone wants to be treated with dignity. It is a universal human yearning. We all want to be valued, no matter where we are, and the workplace is no exception. Leading with Dignity makes the powerful concept of dignity clear and accessible to anyone wanting to create a work culture where people feel they are treated as if they mattered. The problem is that very few leaders fully understand this crucial aspect about the human condition-people want to be treated well and when they are, it brings out the best in them. Not only do they thrive personally, but also, they are more loyal, more productive, more willing to give discretionary energy, and are more trusting of those exercising leadership.
