EP #237: How to Know Your Leader is Generous
Generosity is a mindset - not an event.
A generous workplace culture is a hard thing to build. I won’t sugar coat.
Great leaders have to work hard at fostering the right environment.
What’s easy usually builds the wrong environment. And speaking of easy, I could give you a bunch of red flags of what is a toxic leader or workplace culture. Instead, I thought I’d present some green flags - positive things.
You’ll love these things in a leader and if you are one yourself, try to implement them into your processes.
Have a generous week. 😀
