What are we experiencing in the corporate world? Has life deserted the office? Have all people given up all idea of individual and collective development within the company?

I believe that one lever for real change in large organizations is to reactivate life at the core of the working community.

What does it mean? Beyond all, that leaders put a part of their energy in revitalizing the spirit of being together, weaving relationships in order to make happen a collective project that has meaning for all.

I recently asked thirty top executives to describe the key features they would expect from a leader today.

The last words are very interesting: the linkage between vision and team alignment is built through inspiration as a means of connecting people together. Under such a leadership, communication has to do with creating warmth and trust. And respect and integrity prevail.

In this world, a different working life is made possible.

As a leader, how do you measure against these few metrics?
