My chapter in the book Happiness and Mental Health at Work addresses the importance of humanized leadership. I show that, despite market competitiveness and challenges with new generations, it is possible to manage people with empathy and awareness.
I argue that the sustainability of results is directly linked to healthy environments, with happy and engaged professionals.
I present practical characteristics of humanized leadership and the pillars of a happiness-driven culture, making the topic actionable.
The essential thing is to start: time will show that investing in people was worth it.
