Mark C. Crowley | Author of Lead From The Heart: Transformational Leadership For The 21st Century The Porch with Lindsay Boccardo

We had bestselling author Mark C. Crowley on The Porch to talk about what it looks like to Lead From The Heart.

Warning: Do not be confused by the word "heart". This is not a fluffy interview full of cozy stories. Mark brings research and years of leadership experience to the table to tell us the biological NEED for us to change the way we lead others.

Here's some of what we covered:
- We need to ask ourselves if we are willing to make life better for those we lead or if we want folks to experience the same hardship we did.
-Human beings are hardwired to reciprocate - if you treat them well they want to treat you well. But it has to be genuine care and not a quid pro quo expectation.
-We have to practice boundaries, not just talk about them. Consider those after-hours emails and texts that ruin your teammate's time away from the office. (It doesn't matter if you say "don't worry about it until Monday" it was still sent...)
-Do a gut check on why you're talking about well-being at work. Is it a means to get more productivity out of employees? This is not helpful. Employees know when it's not genuine. The heart tells us.
-We now know that the heart is not just a pump. It's the core of our humanity. It's sending information even ahead of what the brain is able to process.
-The heart is connected to EVERYTHING, without it, everything else does not work.

The future of leadership is not just an intellectual exercise, it's a spiritual and emotional one. We must align ourselves with human nature as we lead into the future.
