The Essence of True Leadership: Empathy, Positive Attitude, and Nourishment

 

In the realm of leadership, there exists a multitude of theories, styles, and approaches. Yet, amidst this diversity, certain qualities stand out as the hallmarks of a real, true leader. Empathy, valuing one’s fellow humans, maintaining a positive attitude in the face of adversity, and nurturing one’s mind are the pillars upon which genuine leadership is built.

At the forefront of contemporary leadership discourse is the EVAN leadership style, pioneered by the visionary Luciano Santini. This innovative approach not only complements existing leadership styles but also brings forth a transformative power that resonates across every organization worldwide.

Empathy:

Empathy lies at the heart of genuine leadership. It is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others, to walk in their shoes, and to genuinely connect with their experiences. A true leader doesn’t just see their team members as resources but as individuals with their own aspirations, challenges, and emotions. By cultivating empathy, leaders foster trust, build stronger relationships, and create environments where people feel valued and supported.

Value Your Fellow Human:

In the pursuit of leadership excellence, it's essential to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of every individual. Valuing one’s fellow humans means embracing diversity, treating everyone with respect, and fostering inclusivity. When leaders prioritize the well-being and development of their team members, they cultivate a culture of collaboration, innovation, and collective success.

Attitude Against Negativity:

Negativity can be pervasive in any organizational setting, from setbacks and challenges to conflicts and criticism. However, a true leader approaches these obstacles with a positive mindset. They see adversity as an opportunity for growth, setbacks as lessons to be learned, and criticism as constructive feedback. By maintaining a positive attitude, leaders inspire resilience, foster optimism, and create a culture where challenges are viewed as stepping stones to success rather than barriers.

Nourishment of the Mind:

Just as physical nourishment is essential for the body, mental nourishment is crucial for effective leadership. The EVAN leadership style emphasizes the continuous development and enrichment of the leader's mind. This involves engaging in lifelong learning, seeking diverse perspectives, and practicing self-reflection and mindfulness. By nourishing their minds, leaders enhance their decision-making abilities, deepen their understanding of complex issues, and foster creativity and innovation within their teams.

The EVAN leadership style, with its emphasis on empathy, valuing others, positive attitude, and mental nourishment, not only elevates individual leaders but also contributes to the overall mental health and well-being of organizations. By prioritizing the holistic development of leaders, this approach creates environments where individuals feel supported, empowered, and motivated to reach their full potential.

Furthermore, in the spirit of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), Santini introduces the DEI+B leadership style, which encourages everyone to tap into their leadership potential. Regardless of background, experience, or position within the organization, the DEI+B approach recognizes and cultivates the unique strengths and talents of each individual. By embracing diversity and fostering an inclusive environment, this style not only enhances organizational performance but also promotes social justice and equity.

In conclusion, true leadership transcends traditional paradigms and embraces a holistic approach that prioritizes empathy, positivity, and continuous growth. The EVAN and DEI+B leadership styles, championed by Luciano Santini, represent a paradigm shift in leadership thinking—one that empowers leaders to make a meaningful and lasting impact on individuals, organizations, and society as a whole.

INFLUENCER

Hello everyone, I do appreciate the warm thoughts and great comments sent to me privately. So people ask me to become an influencer on linked in and so I ask how do I do that. I speak on leadership and many other subjects but focused on leadership. I am always transparent and always stand for what is right for you, me and anyone who is treated wrong. I do disrupt others and their BS and sometimes what they lie they stand for. Leadership, true leadership is about building relationships with that homeless man standing at the corner market or that billionaire you had no idea was a billionaire. Relationships of all kinds are often perceived as very delicate things, that require extra effort to maintain. However, a relationship can also be something that can provide security and can also be long lasting despite many trials. Building an effective and lasting relationships is a necessity for several reasons. For example in a group or organization, the well being of the people depends on how efficient and effective that group or organization works.

The group or organization is also dependent on how the members work well with the leadership. I am asking you to please share my message as much as you can and help become an influencer on this platform. #evanstyle #disruptors #leadership 

Being who you are and love

 Thank you to all who support and follow me on this truly a wonderful journey regarding leadership. Leadership is all about being yourself and demonstrating personal authenticity. True leadership is therefore much more than a demonstration of strengths. Real leaders acknowledge their shortcomings and may even make them work for them.

Good leaders always rely on their ability to read situations. They develop a feel for an environment, and interpret soft data without having to be told. They know when team morale is patchy or when complacency needs shaking up.  

Effective leaders use their differences and move on to distinguish themselves through personal qualities such as sincerity, loyalty, creativity, or sheer expertise. Using these differences is a critical leadership skill. I always say, there is a danger – too much distance makes it impossible to sense situations properly or to communicate effectively.

 Genuine concern is difficult because it always involves some personal risk showing some part of yourself and your most strongly held values can seem quite scary. It may also take some detachment the ability to stand back, see the whole picture and sometimes take tough decisions. Leadership never was a popularity contest. #leadership #evanstyle #people #disruptors #respect #inspire

Standing Alone

Is it true that one message can change the direction of an organization?

Leave your comments below.

Hello to all my friends, supporters and followers thank you for believing in my skill sets as a leader. I learn from every comment you write me.

Leadership is not about who you are or where you come from. Leadership is about seeing ahead just enough to make a turn in a different direction for the better.

Leadership is about allowing your staff to change direction on their own to create efficiency. Leadership is about having an open mind to the future.

Leadership is about understanding that at one point or another you will be standing alone when  everyone else will turn their back on you and yet you will perceive and persist on doing  what you know is the right thing to do.

COLLABORATION

I do so much research on this subject that it burns my mind when I see organization not understand the difference and then they wonder why there is no teamwork. Please share and leave me your comments.

"Be A Rebel Challenge The Status Quo Change Is Constant"-Luciano The Key Santini

Hello my friends and here we are  on another day of frustration among our society. I find it to n\be more frustrating among the younger generations due to old school way of thinking and the resistance to change.
I tell to all of you younger people out there go for it and challenge the status quo because I do and yes you will get your hands slapped and perhaps at time loose jobs but the question to always ask yourself is: Would it be worth to challenge my organization to make a change and the answer will always be YES if it is worth fighting for after all-Who are you if you do not fight for what you believe to be the right thing to do?

I love this quote;

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
― Rob Siltanen

 

I know that sometimes in life we will always face challenges and sometimes we need to make some vary hard choices as to whether to go forward and challenge. I know and I can tell you from experience and working with bosses that always want to stay conformed to the old way of thinking and resist to change basically will tell you they are all about change and yet their actions of course show otherwise because behind the scenes they resist change. So what do I do well I follow my mentors advise as follows;

 

 Napoleon Hill says;

The quality and quantity of service you render fixes your wages and determines what sort of experience you are getting.

The only constraints that you have on your income and advancement potential are those you place upon yourself. If you don’t like your position, or if you are unhappy with your salary, do something about it. What can you do to make yourself more valuable to your department or your company? What tasks have not been completed because no one has the time or the inclination to take care of them? Look around and identify things that need to be done. 

 

Don’t wait to be asked. If you make it a habit to seek out opportunities, to take on new tasks, you will increase your knowledge about the organization and become such a valued employee that your company can’t afford to lose you. 

I agree to try and become as valuable as you can to your organization however if they seem to under value your talents and suggestions for change then you will know what you need to do Yes!! challenge them because that is the only way that change will happen. Will it be scary absolutely it will! but change is constant and guess what change has to take place sometime in every organization and so someone will make the challenge at one point or another it might as well be you!!.

Johnny Cash quotes inspirational bad ass. “

“I wore black because I liked it. I still do, and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion -- against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas.”
