Here’s a counter-intuitive truth I learned from Jeff Weiner: The long-term value of any company is driven by the speed and quality of its decision-making. But here’s the key insight – that speed comes from trust, and trust is built through kindness and compassion.
The formula is simple but powerful:
Compassion → Trust → Efficient Communication → Faster, Better Decisions
When team members know you truly have their back, even in moments of tension, you build the foundation for rapid, high-quality decision-making.
This isn’t just feel-good leadership – it’s about recognizing our shared humanity in the workplace.
How are you building trust in your organization?
