When you think of good leadership, what comes to mind? Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter argue that good leadership isn't rooted in power or public speaking skills. They say that, in fact, mindfulness, selflessness, and compassion are the key components. “If [you are] focused on things that are going to feed [your] ego, [you're] not necessarily going to be doing the things that will be most helpful to other people,” Carter explains. “[And] what the research and our field work really showed us is that in the long term, people don't want to follow you.” In this episode, you'll learn how to cultivate selflessness as a leader without being a pushover. You'll also learn a simple ritual that could help you start you day with more focus and a clearer sense of your priorities.Carter and Hougaard are the coauthors of The Mind of the Leader: How to Lead Yourself, Your People, and Your Organization for Extraordinary Results. Key episode topics include: leadership, managing people, managing employees, managing yourself, psychology, self-awareness, mediation, mindfulness, compassion, selflessness.

Jacqueline Carter is a partner and North American Director for Potential Project, and the co-author of Compassionate Leader: How to do Hard Things in a Human Way. Highlights: “Not only is it possible to do hard things in a human way, but when we do…our people thrive.” [9:50] Jacqueline Carter dives into the data behind her new book Compassionate Leader, delighted to find this human way of doing the hard things that solves the leadership challenge of better well-being and better performance. “How does being rated high on compassion help with our stress and anxiety levels, which are off the charts?” [10:55] Marcel, taking note of the rising stress levels post pandemic, asks Jacqueline how compassionate leadership changes that…interestingly enough, it benefits both the leader and the staff.  “There are many leaders that are smart…being smart means you have the answer to the question; being wise is knowing when not to give the answer to the question.” [13:40] Not only is compassion important but Jacqueline drives home the point of the importance of wisdom in that equation. A wise leader can bring together the greatest potential of the team. “Empathy can lead to empathetic burnout; we can care SO much that we can get stuck and then we can't do anything.” [21:20] Don't let empathy hijack your brain. Jacqueline encourages leaders to ask the question, how can I be of benefit…to drive and influence their ability to lead with compassion.  “Compassionate action can be no action, so long as it is done with wisdom.” [23:31] Leading with compassion can sometimes mean taking a step back. Jacqueline explains the need for space in decisions and actions…at times doing nothing at all.  “Before we lead others with compassion, we must first learn to lead ourselves with compassion.” [23:45] Marcel quotes Jacqueline's principle of ‘Oxygen Mask First': a critical point for leaders to meet their needs and take care of themselves first so they can then be of service to others.  “Busyness does not equal productivity” [25:30] Jacqueline's tip for leaders is to stop wearing busyness as a badge of honor and instead pause and approach tasks with a calmness and understanding of what is possible and reasonable to do.  “Wouldn't it be amazing if as a culture, we valued our downtime as a restorative opportunity for us to be able to show up as a better version of ourselves.” [28:00] What does it mean to appreciate the "busylessness"? Jacqueline encourages an emphasis on creating space in your life and mind for actual downtime, where you are present as an individual.  “It takes an immense amount of courage to see vulnerability as a leadership strength and not as a weakness.” [32:45] Marcel comments on the principle of ‘Courage over Comfort' in which Jacqueline explains the hard stuff, that requires courage and uncomfortability where leaders should embrace the fear and tame it. “We can both be hard and human. We can focus on results and care. Not only is that better for ourselves, for our people, but also for our business.” [36:55] Rounding out the discussion on the 6 principles, Jacqueline parts with what she hopes listeners and readers will take away from her book, Compassionate Leader.

Jacqueline Carter talks about why being a caring person and an effective leader are not mutually exclusive.

There's An Uplifting Movement To Teach CEOs And Executives To Empathetically Treat Workers Humanely After nearly two years of enduring a brutal pandemic, we're having to cope with Omicron surging. Despite the overhang of gloom, we see people striving to make this world a better place. Pre-pandemic it was a standard and accepted practice to have dictatorial CEOs, executives and middle managers rule with an iron fist without any concerns about the mental health and wellbeing of their workers. The virus outbreak has made many leaders rethink the way they manage their staff. In a war-for-talent and Great Resignation era, they finally realized it's imperative to display empathy and enact employee-centric policies and procedures to empower their workforce. From a practical standpoint, taking great care of workers is one of the best ways to attract, recruit and retain people. A leader in this new humanistic approach towards managing people is the Potential Project. The global organization has a bold mission to vastly improve the lives of workers by training and teaching leadership how to effectively and humanely run their companies. The Potential Project, a Danish based consulting firm, has a global roster of top companies advises an impressive roste of corporate clients including Cisco, IKEA, Microsoft, Unilever, Pfizer, Disney and Accenture. The organization educates C-suite executives to keep employees feeling happy and engaged. Potential Project calls for a modern day model for leadership, focused on making work more “human-centric” by prioritizing compassion and reducing busyness and creating a more human work world. Jacqueline Carter, is the director of North America at Potential Project and author of the forthcoming book “Compassionate Leadership: How to do Hard Things in a Human Way.” She is involved with leadership development, change management, consulting, and research along with her colleagues around the world. The management consulting firm has helped over 550,000 individuals at more than 600 clients to adopt new ways of working and leading. Potential Project delivers solutions globally in 28 countries in 17 languages, in-person and digitally. Carter points to Satya Nadella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft, and CHRO Kathleen Hogan as examples of progressive leadership. She says that the tech giant exemplifies what new leadership really looks like—the ability to combine a drive for high performance with a drive for high care for employees. In an interview on Yahoo news, Carter said about Nadella, I think he's humble and he's really committed to being able to support the development of people. She highlights that the tech CEO possesses two attributes that are the cornerstone of leadership. The first is having a growth mindset. This mindset means you are willing to let go of things that don't work and switch gears to try different ways of innovating. Nadella's leadership is built upon his focus on empathy. He has the ability to see, feel and connect with others. He infused these two principles into the culture of Microsoft. Carter says that this is what employees today are looking for. They want leaders to be able to make sure that they can make the tough decisions, drive the results, and also create an environment of flexibility, where workers feel cared for, connected and have a sense of belonging, meaning and purpose. One of the ways to do this is by offering daily pulse checks to determine how the staff is feeling. It's just a simple question to all of their employees worldwide and to be able to find out, how are we doing today?

Empathy is important but has its downsides. Leadership through self-differentiation sees empathy as a step toward compassion, which can help others learn and grow.

In today's episode we're exploring this quote, from Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter's book, The mind of The Leader 'If we as leaders want to engage the people we are leading, we need to show up as human beings not as an authority, not as status, not as hierarchy but as a human being talking to a human being'.

We are in the middle of a giant, global experiment in remote work. Even in the best of times, working from home is tricky. You're surrounded by distractions: pets, laundry, Netflix. But in the midst of this pandemic, WFH (as the millennials call it) is even harder, given that many of us are cooped up with our children, cut off from our coworkers, and overwhelmed by anxiety. Our guests, Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter, from Potential Project, are experts in bringing mindfulness into the workplace. In this episode, we explore solutions to four major problems: distraction, isolation, virtual collaboration, and balancing family life.

Join us as we explore these questions and more with Jacqueline Carter, co-author of The Mind of the Leader: How to Lead Yourself, […]

Marcel’s guest on this week’s Love In Action show is Jacqueline Carter. Jacqueline is the international partner and the North American director for Potential Project. She has over 20 years of experience working with organizations around the globe, including Cisco, Marriott and Google, to improve performance. She is also the co-author along with Rasmus Hougaard, of the exciting new book, The Mind of a Leader: How to Lead Yourself, Your People and Your Organization For Extraordinary Results. The book is based on extensive research, including assessments of more than 35,000 leaders, and reveals how leaders can disrupt how they lead by training their brains.  Most leaders are overwhelmed and overworked. Jacqueline calls it a leadership crisis. She says that it’s tough to be a leader today and it’s not getting easier. [4:30] Her research gave three major insights:  The workplace has dramatically changed - people are looking for meaning, purpose and happiness in their jobs. Creating an environment where people feel happy is a big task for leaders, and most feel ill-equipped to do it. [5:41] Leadership is an inner game - it starts with understanding, managing and leading your own mind before you can lead others. [6:30] Mindfulness, selflessness and compassion are the three core qualities that make great leaders. [6:43] We’re most stressed first thing in the morning because of cortisol spikes, so it’s the most important time to do mind training practices which will help settle the mind and give us more clarity. [8:17] If you don’t set an intention, your day will just happen. [9:00] Because of its neuroplasticity, we can change the way our brain looks and functions. [9:52] Mindfulness is the ability to be present in the moment, to be focused on the task at hand and aware of what’s going on around us. Our mind has a natural tendency to wander, and research shows that our attention span is getting smaller over time. However, attention matters in business. Mindfulness training helps to train the attentional muscles so we can be more focused and more effective. [13:33] Marcel asks Jacqueline how to practice mindfulness. She shares a simple A-B-C-D technique and invites listeners to join in. [16:25] The main reason meetings are not as effective as they can be, Jacqueline says, is because people are not paying attention, their minds are wandering. She shares how practicing mindfulness helped one organization decrease their meeting time by 35% and become more efficient. [22:47] Marcel asks what to do with our devices so we can be more mindful. Jacqueline comments that even the mere presence of a smartphone during a conversation negatively impacts our ability to feel connected with each other. She shares some practical tips to help us get the best of technology without letting it get the best of us. [28:10] Selflessness is not allowing our natural egoistic tendencies to get in the way of being a good leader. We naturally see the world from our own point of view. Selflessness asks us to be more intentional about others and their needs and how we can best be of service. The foundation of selflessness is bringing more humility and gratitude into our leadership. [30:35] Empathy is when we feel with someone. Compassion is more focused on how we can make their life easier. If as a leader, you can help to alleviate some of the unnecessary stress and pressure your workers face, you will be able to create a kinder and more effective workplace. [35:23] Jacqueline appeals to listeners to put your own oxygen mask on first. You can’t take care of other people if you’re not taking good care of yourself. Her research has proven that the most successful leaders are disciplined about taking care of themselves. [41:14] Resources PotentialProject.com  Email: jacqueline.carter@potentialproject.com

Mindfulness, osjälviskhet och medkännande är nycklarna till framgångsrikt ledarskap i vårt distraktionssamhälle. Det menar Rasmus Hougaard som har intervjuat hundratals ledare i globala storföretag.  Rasmus Hougaard är ursprungligen från Danmark och forskade i organisationsutveckling innan han grundade organisationen Potential Project. Han föreläser och utbildar över hela världen om mindfulness och har tidigare gett ut boken One second ahead om mindfulness på arbetsplatsen. Ett ledarskap för 2000-talet När han och kollegan Jacqueline Carter ställde sig frågan om vilket ledarskap som behövs för 2000-talet inledde de ett omfattande kartläggningsarbete. Efter flera tusen intervjuer med ledare på företag som Accenture och McKinsey i samarbete med Harvard Business Review landade de i de fynd som nu återfinns i boken The mind of the leader. De såg tre tydliga egenskaper som ledare behöver för att verka framgångsrikt idag. Att vara mindful handlar om att träna på att vara fokuserad och närvarande i stunden och i det som är viktigt för att hantera alla de distraktioner vi ständigt utsätts för. Att vara osjälvisk handlar om att motverka det som annars händer när någon blir premierad till ledare - egot växer! Osjälviskhet handlar om att "lämna egot i dörren" och leda mot det större syftet menar Rasmus Hougaard. Att visa medkänsla är viktigt för att våra hjärnor ska känna trygghet och vilja prestera. Det ger oss och våra medarbetare en känsla av att "jag tar emot dig om du faller". Tränar vi på de här egenskaperna blir vi bättre på dem. Hjärnan är plastisk och det vi gör ofta blir vi bättre på, precis som inom idrott. De här tre kvaliteterna bygger en kultur som sätter människan istället för lönsamheten i centrum. Men trots allt är lönsamhet en avgörande motor och drivkraft i företag och näringsliv. Så driver mindfulness, osjälviskhet och medkänsla resultat? Ja, menar Rasmus Hougaard och exemplifierar med historien om Marriott Hotel. När andra företag avskedade många medarbetare under den stora depressionen på 1920-talet valde Marriott att istället ta ännu bättre hand om sina medarbetare. Filosofin är och var att "tar vi hand om våra medarbetare tar de hand om våra gäster, som kommer tillbaka". Det vann de på långsiktigt och idag är Marriott en av de absolut största hotellkedjorna i världen. Mindfulness rustar oss i uppmärksamhetsekonomin Vi lever i en "uppmärksamhetsekonomi" där distraktioner i omvärlden ständigt hotar att stjäla vår uppmärksamhet och vår förmåga till fokus. Rasmus Hougaard beskriver hur vi upplever det här med begreppet PAID: press, alltid uppkopplade, informationsöverbelastning och distraktioner. Mindfulness är ett sätt att hantera utmaningen och istället lägga uppmärksamhet på det man själv vill och behöver långsiktigt. Du hittar mer om Rasmus Hougaard, hans bok och organisationen Potential Project här. Vår samarbetspartner Twitch Health vill påminna oss om att jobba med ergonomin på arbetsplatsen.
