Positive Leadership Award 2023 is presented to
who has been selected from 7 399 nominations submitted from 18 countries across five continents and recognized as a positive leadership champion, helping people, teams and organizations thrive
Positive leadership means recognizing the full human beings involved. When we try to keep the emotional lives of the workforce separate from the workplace, we sacrifice authenticity, connection, and engagement along with it. The only way to genuinely inspire people to care about work is to genuinely care about them in turn. To achieve that, we have to foster environments that have the space to listen, care, and provide support. Emotionally intelligent teams are more creative, committed, collaborative, and courageous, so well-being has to be more than a means to productivity - it has to be an end in itself.
