Celebrating Team Member Birthdays: A Human-First Approach to Leadership
Nov 08, 2023
Introduction to Circle Leadership Global
Our purpose is to evolve the way organisations think and act by prioritizing a human-first approach.
We understand that to thrive in an ever-changing business landscape, leaders and companies must evolve into purpose-driven entities. By fostering a culture where everyone is encouraged to think and act with a human-centric mindset, we elevate not just the individual, but the entire organization.
The Philosophy of Circle Leadership Global
We believe that businesses flourish when they create an environment that celebrates the human spirit. This extends beyond everyday operations into how special occasions are recognized and valued, including team members' birthdays.
The Shift from Bosses to Coaches
Transitioning from a traditional boss-led structure to one where leaders act as coaches is fundamental. It’s about mentorship, guidance, and support rather than command and control.
Cultivating an Ecosystem of Leadership
In an ecosystem of leadership, every member's contribution is recognized. Birthdays are a fantastic opportunity to reinforce this ethos, showing that each individual is valued.
Beyond Hierarchies: Everyone Answers to Something First
In our model, hierarchies take a back seat. Instead, we advocate for a structure where everyone is accountable to the organization's values and purpose first—a concept that can be beautifully highlighted through the way we celebrate our team members' personal milestones.
The Concept of Answering to Something, Not Someone
Celebrating a birthday isn't just about acknowledging a person's existence; it’s a nod to their integral role in the shared purpose and mission of the company.
Integrating Human-First Principles into Corporate Celebrations
A birthday is more than just a personal milestone; it's an opportunity to embody the human-first principles that define our company.
The Value of Celebrating Team Members' Birthdays
When we celebrate a team member's birthday, we acknowledge their unique presence in our work family. It’s a chance to show we care about them beyond their professional roles.
Recognizing Individuality within the Team
Each birthday is a reflection of an individual's journey. Celebrating this personal event honours the diversity and individuality of our team members.
There was a big horse race on here in Australia on the day of our own Humicorn's birthday, we back her as a winner every day.
Happy birthday Lisa Ferguson !!
