A male leader has a compassionate conversation with a team member

Compassion Is a Business Strategy

Compassion is a business strategy (who knew?!)💖

A lot of leaders think profiling (all kinds, including Myers Briggs, DISC, Clifton Strengths, Human Design etc) is 'fun', 'cool', 'kinda useful', but often only think about what it means for themselves.

They don't really get the phenomenal value it provides for better understanding the people around us. Also some tools are much more complex, and much harder to implement in a team environment than others.

EDISC profiling - a leadership essential

I honestly think that E-DISC profiling is a leadership essential.

Why?

Because a business is no more successful than the people it has in it. And if those people can't understand each other because they don't speak the same language (ie 'human')?

Communication gets messy AF.

Friction rises, productivity wanes, and retention plummets.

Understanding how people respond to their environment

But if instead, we seek to understand how people are naturally wired? If we understand what they tend to focus on, and learn how they respond to change, make decisions and react under pressure?

And better — if we equip our teams to do the same?

👉 We start to build compassion for not just how, but why people are so different.

Compassion creates space

Compassion is an amazing creator of space where magical things can happen. Where people can start to value people for their uniqueness, and what this means for our collective goals.

Enabling and building compassion isn't fluffy.

It's smart and strategic.

I wonder what could be possible if all leaders knew this?
