If you, as the leader, can take the initiative to recognize when someone needs some compassion and express it appropriately, it may go a long way toward making your workplace a better place to be. People want to know that you have a heart, and expressing compassion is one way to do so. Sounds soft? Think you’ll be seen as weak?

Allow them to work as long as it makes sense to do so: So often I hear of someone putting in their advance notice of resignation and the manager immediately shows them to the door. Let them work as long as they can, when possible. As a leader, your job is to see and treat people with humanity, even as they are walking out the door.

I don’t believe any followers can respect their such leaders for a long term. I think I have a long way to go to become a best leader. It is very hard to image that leaders look like idiots at a meeting since they didn’t prepare and didn’t know what other members or even underlings were talking about.

Work-life synergy is a term I like better. And I’m about to embark into uncharted territory… We should all be so lucky to pay attention to the synchronistic road signs that help guide us to where we long to be. Or maybe it’s just that we only see what we want to see to be where we long to be. I can do this.

Our organizations are no long hierarchical. The idea that “you should be grateful that you have a job” is long gone. They truly “get” and act on the worn out maxim that “our people are our greatest asset” (but they don’t need to say this because it is so evident). Leaders know - and act on – being of service to followers.
