Most HR leadership philosophies are grounded in two completely faulty assumptions — “change is hard” and “engagement drives results.” Those beliefs have inspired expensive attempts to keep change from being disruptive to employees.

If you’re serious about becoming a more human-centered leader, it’s vital to master one specific relationship: the one with yourself. This is a leadership relationship I often overlook. It’s so easy to have compassion and grace for other people while pushing myself for more and holding myself to an unreasonable standard of perfection or achievement.
