Foremost thinker Gary Hamel, professor of the London Business School and director of MLab has an interesting article The Hole in the Soul of Business.
It highlights some of what is at the heart of Motivational Leadership where we too believe that humanising the language and practice of management is a business imperative. Some of the happiest places to work (which translates not only to success on the balance sheet but, when times are hard, to employees that will rally round) are smaller businesses where personal relationships are strong and values are shared.
Aligning personal values and motivation to those of the organisation is set to become a bigger piece of the management agenda.
