Book excerpt: We are humans working with other humans, so what happened to the human connection at work. In the imagination age of innovation and creativity we need more empathy, meaning and understanding, to balance out data, logic and analysis. This book provides an easy to follow model and simple steps, to bring the human element to your leadership and organisation. Written both for people leaders wanting to improve their leadership, and for those wanting to transform their organisations, Mel Rowsell explores what works, and why.Bringing humanity back to work sounds like a good thing to do. But it also works. From gaining access to someone's full skill set, to encouraging people to step outside of their comfort zone, to reducing unhealthy conflict, to encouring people to take risks. All of this is aided by understanding the human condition and creating leaders and workplaces that allow humans to thrive. If you are looking for a spiritual leadership book, you won't find it here. However if you want a practical, step-by-step guide to bring humanity back to the workplace, read on.
