“If you want your employees to live up to their full professional potential, you must give them the respect and autonomy they deserve as humans.”
The choice is simple: either keep treating your people as disposable and join in the AI-fuelled race to the bottom, or build a significant organisation that enrols, empowers, and trusts employees to deliver their best work, no matter where they are.
According to Seth Godin in his book, Song of Significance, “becoming significant means making a change happen: impacting people or the world around us so they’re different than if we had never been here. But to create change involves risk, the risk of living in possibility, and of the threat of failure.”
His book is a new manifesto for teams, a playbook for future cultures and a rousing call to action for leaders everywhere, proposing a new view of what industry leaders must do now.
