"Yes, you must deliver results," Davis says, "but people today want generous leaders who will work to see beyond themselves--you must learn to lead with your heart. Being vulnerable with your staff is intimidating, but connecting with your people will not only help you grow as a leader and a person, but will grow your business as well." As Davis explains, there have been, of course, many great leaders who were admired and respected for taking a broad view. They focused on the numbers but also cared deeply for people and were concerned about their company's impact on the community. "They existed, but this type of generous leader, who put their heart at the forefront of their leadership, was rarely visible," Davis attests. "This broad view of leadership was not in fashion and was not considered a model for success."
