I'll never forget the impact I felt when I learned the translation of the Japanese characters used at Toyota for "respect for people" - "Holding precious what it is to be human." Let that sink in and then lead so that the humanity of every person is treated as precious. RESPECT. #leadership

Protesters calling for the rights, humanity and dignity of immigrants at the Texas State Capitol in Austin last Saturday.

A Public Service Announcement: With Un-Leaders destroying lives, institutions, relationships, and hope, it is important to remember they are not right or ultimately effective. True Leaders are caring, ethical, and good. They act with love not fear. Stay clear minded about this. It matters.

Exclusion and marginalization are truly idiotic, that is if you want any kind of success in your enterprise. Instead, create belonging and engagement, loyalty, and innovation soar. We have big problems to solve and need the diverse lived experiences of all included in order to solve them.

Loving, human leaders don't oppress. They uplift. Caring leadership is more effective than fear-based leadership, hands down. It's never been more important to stand against selfish, ego-driven, cruelty and bullying. Young leaders are watching. How will you lead?

Loving Leadership always wins over fear and bullying IF we want ROI, customer satisfaction, team engagement, loyalty, improvement, innovation, and sustained results.

Fear shuts us down. It cuts off contributions. But Love enables our greatest achievements. That has not changed.

Enough with “inciting" violence and hatred. No more "inciting" riots and lawbreaking.

Instead, claim this word - “incite Love!” at work, in communities, everywhere. We need a riot of love.

(in·cite, /inˈsīt/, verb)
1. encourage or stir up
2. urge or persuade
Synonyms: arouse, provoke, instigate

This. Every. Single. Day. Because that's what the people we lead deserve. #leadership #love #teams

Ever had a leader lift you up?

Whether it feels good or is challenging, uplifting leadership actions can make all the difference.

Loving Leaders also create policies, processes, communication, and culture that uplift
