Insights from the Work
Observations, reflections, and practical guidance on leadership, organizational effectiveness, and the human experience of work.
Leadership is human work.
At StartHuman we explore the internal capacities leaders must develop to lead people well and shape healthy organizational culture.
We call this The StartHuman Way™:
Stand in Service™: Choose commitment over compliance
Befriend Fear™: Choose presence over protection
Sit in the Fire™: Choose Integrity over relief
These insights explore the patterns, tensions, and leadership choices that shape how people experience work.
Is 360 Feedback Right for Your Leaders?
360 feedback can provide powerful insight for leaders — but only when the conditions are right. Without trust, clarity, and the capacity to receive feedback, the tool can backfire.
What Coaching Is and What It Isn’t
Leadership coaching isn’t advice, training, or consulting. At its best, coaching helps leaders develop the awareness and responsibility needed to grow their leadership capacity.
