“In the off chance it can’t happen and I can’t build that – I do a lot of soul searching around that – we’ll move people to make sure people can report to someone where care and connection is in place,” Brown explained. “If you can’t find affection for the people you lead, you shouldn’t be leading them.”Īcross her own team of 30 people, Brown said she prioritises building connection and care with her direct reports. “When we walk into an office, our need for care, respect and connection doesn’t dissipate,” Brown said. To outline the point, she highlighted the results of her most recent seven-year study into leadership, which has found these elements to be just as important in our work lives, as they are in our personal ones. In the context of leadership, Brown said one key way of navigating this change is to embrace empathy, care, connection and mutual respect. “We need to rethink how we are taking care of ourselves, our organisation, each other and our communities,” Brown said.
