The Generosity Revolution in Leadership
Imagine a senior executive turning down a prestigious job offer partly to avoid disrupting an employee's family life. This moment of selfless consideration - where a results-focused leader factored someone else's needs into his own career decisions - exemplifies the essence of generous leadership that transformed Joe Davis's approach to management. This isn't just feel-good philosophy; it's a leadership model embraced by executives at Johnson & Johnson, United Airlines, and other major corporations who've discovered that leading with heart delivers superior business results. The traditional command-and-control leadership model is becoming obsolete in today's interconnected workplace, especially as millennials - now over 50% of the workforce - expect authentic, empathetic leadership. For decades, we celebrated leaders solely for delivering results through rigid command-and-control structures. The "tough leader" archetype became synonymous with effectiveness, while compassionate leaders received fewer accolades. This paradigm is rapidly shifting. As work and personal boundaries blur, people now expect leaders who make them feel human, seen, and fulfilled. True generosity means giving beyond what's expected without thought of personal benefit. For this to be authentic, it must become habitual - not occasional acts but a consistent way of being. As Aristotle noted, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act but a habit."
