Let's be human at work

- Managing partner of Humans At Work, LLC.
Humans At Work is a training program that grounds new managers in the essential skills of managing people. The company motto is: "Work is a human thing. Let's treat each other that way."
I deliver the program on a turnkey basis, and consult with clients on setting up the program in-house.
I've written "A Leader's Manifesto" to describe the skills of good management and why they're critical to the success of business. I invite you to read it on the company website.
And because I believe in the program, I want everyone to have access to it. I've made the entire curriculum available under a Creative Commons non-commercial license so that organizations under financial constraints may use the ideas to benefit their employees.

Remember that employees are human first; seek to build what matters the most to humans - personal relationships.
Communicating "what" is not enough. Explain the "why" behind everything.

Am I ever pleased you joined us. I look so forward to your participation and involvement in the network. I took a 4 minute glance at your leader's manifesto and decided to print it...I am away for 8 days and wanted to read it while I am flying. I appreciate your writing and your approach. I also like that you don't fear free (creative commons). Work is a human thing.
Take care and carry on caring,
David
