Creating a happy and productive workplace starts with a focus on culture. A coaching culture can help build trust and encourage open communication.
Sarah Pugh is the CEO of Whizz-Kidz, the UK's leading charity for young wheelchair users. She shares her insights on leading a hospice to an Outstanding rating in just one year. She did this by making culture a fundamental part of the change process. She reveals how this experience has informed her work at Whizz-Kidz and the steps she’s taken there to put culture at the heart of everything.
Sarah’s tips for a happy workplace
- Lead with kindness, and remember that kindness is a strength, not a sign of weakness.
- Treat people like adults and they will act like adults. Look for the potential in people and allow them the opportunity to shine.
- We learn so more from our mistakes than we do our successes, so eliminate blame and encourage people to learn from mistakes.
