Leadership is an insanely important discipline. Here you’ll find the thought, tools and tricks of the trade of great leaders.
Some managers think that employees must always be pressured or externally motivated to perform better. That’s just not true. Here are the three factors that help employees to higher performance and be happy at work at the same time.
Profits or People—What Should Leaders Focus on First?
Both are important but in this Heartcount video I argue that a leader’s most important skill is to create good relationships with their employees.
That’s how you get great results!
The attitude employees have towards the company is incredibly important.
In this video I talk about why it matters and how to improve employees’ attitudes towards the organization and the huge role the CEO and upper management plays in this.

Whenever we talk about happy workplaces, a lot of the conversation tends to be about big US corporations with huge budgets like Google, Zappos or Southwest Airlines.
But happiness is possible in (nearly) any industry and in any country.
That’s why I was so excited to talk to Nicolás González Restrepo for our latest Heartcount webinar and learn how the company Contento BPS S.A in Colombia creates a happy culture for their 2,000 people – even in a Latin American machismo culture and even though their main business is as a call center for debt collections.
Learn how they created a great culture and how it helped improve absenteeism, employer brand and financial results.
And if they can do it, what’s your company’s excuse? :)
