Image description: A contemplative figure sits inside a circle introspecting, with petals extending around the circle representing this introspective mindset. Inside the different petals are small silhouettes of people, highlighted in yellow. The figures are positioned along a winding, yellow path that extends through each of the different petals. End of image description.

Human-centered leadership gives people a sense of purpose and recognizes their ambitions. That doesn’t just help leaders help their people—it can also boost a company’s bottom line, say Dana Maor, Hans-Werner Kaas, Kurt Strovink, and Ramesh Srinivasan. To learn how to lead from the inside out, check out the latest edition of the Five Fifty.
