Leaders With Heart Help Others Find Their “Why”

In this episode, Heather speaks with Sarah Pierre Louis, Sr. Manager Marketing Team Development for Tableau Software (recently acquired by Salesforce) about her leadership style, and her fascinating approach to helping her team come up with their “why” and their own solutions. She talks about the times when she got in her own way while leading a team and how she made her way out of it.

Key takeaways:

  • Ask our people what they want or what they are trying to accomplish to help them answer their own questions.
  • Ask yourself what your people need from you on an individual level.
  • When things are crazy, and you want to make a decision, pause first.
  • Think of three things every day that went well to help in re-framing and moving past stuck.

If you are still finding your WHY, this episode is for you!

  1. There is no doubt, the leader is the person who is in a position to which others look to learn about the road, he is the one who guides other people, supports and encourages them, but above all helps them find their ways and bring out the better than themselves.
    In the current social and business scenario, characterized by increasingly complex challenges, increasingly liquid relations and ever more rapid changes, leadership is needed that opens the door to awareness, responsible choices and humanity. We need what is called emotionally intelligent communication: talking to people’s hearts, asking questions to understand, identifying important things for the person (because we listened to them!) And, rather than putting our projections inside, we commit ourselves to pulling out the his needs, his emotions, his answers and his desires.
    This leadership, decidedly more human and authentic, focuses on the growth of the person: it overcomes the conflict between results orientation and orientation towards people, typical of the managerial approach, and resolves this contrast by shifting attention to the person, to which the Leader dedicates time, listening and attention, so that he can achieve his results, realizing himself and his potential as an active part of the corporate vision.
    It is time to return human and to regain contact with our deepest sense of purpose.
