What makes a child thrive? Trust and safety.
What makes relationships thrive? Trust and safety.
I could go on and on here.
Management theorist Simon Sinek tackles the question, “What makes a great leader?” In this TED video, he suggests that it’s someone who makes their employees feel secure, who draws staffers into a circle of trust.
When a leader makes the choice to put the safety and lives of the people inside the organization first, to sacrifice their comforts and sacrifice the tangible results, so that the people remain and feel safe and feel like they belong, remarkable things happen.
So what happens when leaders make you feel safe? People will be willing to take risk, sacrifice out of selflessness, etc. In summary…remarkable things happen!
Do you know or work for a leader like this?
