What does a human-centric approach and leadership have in common? Successful leaders constantly reinvent themselves and their organizations.

Want to know why change initiatives often hit a wall? Stress triggers "threat rigidity" - making teams resist new approaches when they need them most. With many employees already burned out, human-centered leadership isn't just nice-to-have. It's essential for building the resilience teams need to adapt. This is where human-centered leadership becomes critical - not as a buzzword, but as a practice. It's not about being just "people-first" - it's about building the resilience needed for continuous adaptation.
