What if the best workplace we've experienced is just a fraction of what is possible? Dare we dream of something so far beyond 'business as usual' that it feels like a fantasy? In this book, we aim to venture past the workplaces of the past and into the unknown, to imagine and create something recognisably different. To create truly human work at workplaces that support everyone to be their best. In this book we look at the many ways that leaders around the world are making work more human. What we've found is that there doesn't seem to be a simple recipe for success, and that it is more important to understand the mindsets behind the strategies. The five leadership mindsets for humanising the workplace describe powerful lenses through which we may see our organisations differently. We expand our awareness of human dynamics and find ourselves transforming into a more human leader. These mindsets are:Learning and growth: I have a desire to learn, grow and deepen my self-expression.Everyone is a leader: I strive to empower the leadership of those around me.Belonging: I believe belonging is important for both the individual and the group.Love and care: I believe that everyone is worthy of love and care.Human systems: I understand that human workplaces are not possible without human systems.This is a book for leaders. Both leaders with positional authority and those who create influence from anywhere in the organisation. However and wherever you lead, we invite you to be inspired by the stories the leaders we've interviewed tell about humanising workplaces. Notice your own mindsets and try on some new ones. Together we can make work more human.
