Using Grace to Grow

"When I took the time to create a space for grace in my interactions, we super-charged our work together."

Giving Grace to Others

"Business education must change and embrace a method that teaches students how to be innovative, competitive and respectful of human dignity."

What is grace-based leadership?

Grace-based leadership is seen in a variety of ways in the workplace, and yet, its power can be underestimated in improving relationships, performance and outcomes. In a world where work is increasingly becoming more digital and machine-based, the skill of understanding humans and how to collaborate, support, and nurture relationships is even more important. A grace-based approach that holistically considers the needs of others can be a game changer. Based on our research, we think about grace presenting at work in the four key areas listed below. In our podcast, we'll share stories and practical ways to approach your leadership with grace and ask you in our surveys about how that works out for you.

Authentic kindness

Compassion to self and others

Respect for human dignity
