It is a common misconception that dedication will increase commitment and greater time will result in higher productivity. In fact if we value outcomes more than outputs we will understand that high commitment, long hours and limited focus will more likely be a route to fatigue, frustration, conflicted families, divided teams and burnout.
I firmly believe that the way a nation, company or organisation treat the lowest level of worker says much more about their vision and values than the way they treat the higher echelons. In any HR decision in leadership I have always considered how change will help those who are worse off than me. I am saddened by the social, economic and racial inequalities that continue to grow in each of my home nations.
Some of my heroes are business people who have gone out of their way to improve the lives of their workers.
