193: Nurturing Workplace Culture: Lessons in Human-Centred Leadership with Kate Jones

How can you create a happier and human-centred work environment?

In the latest episode of The Happier at Work podcast, I sat down with the incredible Kate Jones to explore the importance of understanding well-being and the impact of leadership on creating deeply human organisations. Kate shared her wealth of knowledge from her experience in the probation service and as a leadership and life coach, emphasising the significance of building relationships and establishing a healthy workplace culture.

The thought-provoking conversation touched on various aspects, including the need to redefine success beyond traditional measures and the importance of creating conditions for change by understanding individual and environmental factors. Kate also introduced the "5 C's" model for deeply human leadership: clarity of purpose, connection, consciousness, creativity, and care.

We delved into the impact of leadership on organisational functions and the necessity of interconnecting relationships for effective leadership. Kate's insights shed light on the challenges of creating deeply human organisations and how leaders can prioritise meaningful work, foster connection, and provide a sense of belonging and growth for employees.
