I went to a local bank today and was disheartened to see the bank’s cleaner having lunch in what looked like a cramped storage room in a 35 degrees Celcius Manila heat.
If you were the branch head, manager, personal banking officer, or teller, would you want to have lunch in that room?
If you’re a parent, can you imagine seeing your grownup child having lunch there? Or can you imagine your 50-year-old parent having lunch there?
It breaks my heart to see stark contrasts with how people in organizations are treated depending on their career status and salary grade.
It takes a #fearlessleader to dare to CARE about the plight of every member of his/her team.
It takes a fearless leader to make the people in the organization feel safe and seen, including the often unseen members of the organization like the cleaners, guards, and janitors.
A fearless leader focuses on caring for others, while a fearful or weak leader prioritizes self-preservation.
Do you have a #FearlessLeader in your organization?
If you’re a leader, are you fearless enough to be caring and compassionate?
P.S. I’m curious. Is it a norm for banks to not have a decent pantry for their cleaners to take their lunch? What’s your take on this?
