For our organizations, our societies and our personal lives, human thriving is an untapped resource, a source of power that we need to be paying a lot more attention to.
Wisdom Works CEO Renee Moorefield explored how we, as leaders and influencers in organizations, can create and sustain a culture of thriving on the latest episode of the “Your Authentic Path to Powerful Leadership” podcast with Marsha Clark and Wendi McGowan-Ellis.
Renee shared why at Wisdom Works, we use the term ‘thriving’ most often because as we tracked the wellness and wellbeing movement over the last couple of decades, we saw the focus on wellbeing become narrowed to a human resources issue that companies treat as an afterthought rather than an asset. Many companies are now realizing that how people show up for work affects the results they can achieve. And research shows that when you are thriving, you are more likely to perform better, develop more productive relationships, operate with greater clarity, lucidity, presence, take appropriate risks and innovate and set the tone for people to work together with a sense of generativity and trust.
