Book Description
Wipe Out Bad Leadership and Build Psychological Safety, One Letter at a TimeToday, most employees stay or leave an organization because of their direct manager. Are team members provided what they need to be their best self and do their best work, or is it withheld by someone above them? Are their managers fulfilling the role of a people-first leader? Does company leadership make the working environment a psychologically safe space that maximizes both human and business performance? Some do, most don’t—only because most aren’t trained to.But how do leaders build high-performing, psychologically safe teams? Alex Draper, the Founder of DX Learning, has created the CARE Equation: a four-part playbook that will help leaders establish an environment employees not only feel comfortable speaking up in, but one in which they want to stay at and feel like they can win in. In following the research of positive leadership and psychology, Draper’s CARE Equation is based on the idea that when leaders provide clarity (C), give autonomy (A), build relationships (R), and establish equity (E), their teams are more likely to be psychologically safe and perform at their highest potential. CARE to Win is the much-needed modern and relevant guide for managers, their employees, and organizations. It outlines the importance of each CARE component and breaks down internal biases that keep leaders from CAREing to the fullest. Through personal stories, research, and exercises, Alex shows that when leaders CARE, everyone wins—because CARE is the human skill that gets the hard stuff done.Become the leader that sets your team up to win. Every. Single. Day.
