Often, business leaders are so focused on what they can do to help others outside their organization that they neglect those inside. This holiday season, let's embrace the true spirit of giving by starting within. Because our team members feel cared for and valued in their work environment, they are more likely to take the initiative to help others. It’s the kind of giving that keeps on giving. 🎁 To learn more about our beliefs on corporate social responsibility, read “The Kind of Giving That Keeps on Giving,” by Bob Chapman on the #TrulyHumanLeadership blog: https://lnkd.in/eGXUSvAq #giving #giveback #socialresponsibility #leadership #humanresources #culture

The holiday season is a time for creating meaningful connections with family and loved ones.🌟 But, as you gather with whoever you consider family this holiday season, we ask you to recognize how you feel with the people around you. Then, think about your teammates at work, or, if you are a leader, those within your span of care. Is there a difference? Work may not be your home and other team members may not be your family, but when you spend 40+ hours a week together, working toward the same purpose and goals, wouldn’t it be better if it were an environment where you felt unconditional care?

As 2024 comes to a close, it’s important to celebrate our accomplishments and acknowledge what we can do better. We don’t have to be dramatically cruel in our interactions to recognize the Scrooge inside. Often, it’s the subtle things we do as leaders that hurt our people the most — sarcastic asides, a lack of trust demonstrated in the lack of empowerment of our people, not clearly communicating goals and not recognizing our team’s contributions. Let’s aim to lead with empathy, clarity and recognition in 2025.

In S5 E 16 I am delighted to welcome Mr Bob Chapman to the podcast. Mr Chapman "The People's CEO" is Chairman and CEO of St. Louis, MO-based Barry-Wehmiller, a $3.6B global capital equipment and engineering solutions company with more than 12,000 team members. Mr Chapman became the senior executive of Barry- Wehmiller in 1975 at age 30 when the 90-year-old business had $20 million in revenue, outdated technology and a very weak financial position. As you will hear in this conversation despite the obstacles, Chapman applied a unique blend of strategy and culture over the next 45+ years in leading Barry-Wehmiller through more than 130 successful acquisitions. Over the past two decades, a series of realizations led him away from traditional management practices to Truly Human Leadership--a people-centric approach where his team members feel valued, cared for and integral to the company’s purpose. At Barry-Wehmiller, they have a unique measure of success: by the way they touch the lives of people.     Chapman’s experiences and the transformation he championed were the inspiration behind his 2015 WSJ bestseller Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family. The book is co- authored by Raj Sisodia, founder and co-author of Conscious Capitalism. . In 2016, Harvard Business School released a case study featuring Barry-Wehmiller’s unique approach to business, which is now taught at 70+ business schools around the world.    In 2013, Bob and his wife Cynthia launched a nonprofit, Chapman Foundation for Caring Communities, to bring the company’s groundbreaking Listen Like a Leader training to communities. And, in 2015, the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute was founded to bring Barry-Wehmiller’s trademark culture transformation and leadership training to for-profit organizations.    I am joined here by special guest co-host Dr Chris Edmond ( S 5 E7) and together we have the opportunity to explore the leadership, strategy and culture which define the Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller organisational approach today. Mr Chapman himself credits his success in the face of adversity over the years to the combination of the core tenets of common sense, creativity and a positive attitude. His story, journey and work are testament to what is possible at the intersection of great business strategy and profound care for people. He wants everyone to see that caring for people and giving them meaning, purpose and fulfilment through their work is not in disharmony with creating value. If the key mission and work of this podcast is to mine for the pockets of excellent leadership and practice so that we can all learn and evolve, then we have certainly struck gold again here. Thank you Mr Bob Chapman for generously sharing your time, expertise and wisdom .  Links/ References: https://lnkd.in/gWtjcCbs https://lnkd.in/gyJWUe9Z https://lnkd.in/gAbpvEDW https://lnkd.in/gPRss4YX

Leadership and bringing out the best in people isn't always easy. Sometimes, people can be difficult. Yet, we must recognize that everyone is on their own unique journey.
