Touching Lives: Leaders’ Pain or Joy

Real organizational success is measured by more than just a good balance sheet and profit & loss statement. Successful leaders are also evaluated on how effectively they touch the individual lives of those within the organizations they lead.   In his presentation, Mike Losey emphasizes how a leader's ability to connect emotionally and responsibly with others can effectively build confidence in management.   

The regrettable breaches of organizational trust and ethical violations too frequently witnessed can also be avoided.  Losey gives real life examples on how leaders can connect with those within the organization who depend on their leadership.   The organizational benefit is success where stakeholders, employees, families and communities all benefit.  The leader’s regret is realizing his or her leadership failed and how peoples’ lives were negatively affected, for which there is no greater pain.  The leader’s prize is realizing there is no greater joy than fairly and favorably touching the lives of others.
