Charlie DeMarco: Modern Leaders Invitation to Humanity

Today we are joined by Charlie DeMarco Senior Technology Leader at CISCO and former VP of Morpheus Data Customer Success

In this episode, Nina and Charlie discuss:

• Leaders are stewards of people
• Connecting with your team 
• Practicing conscious leadership
• Old paradigms and bold predictions

Key Takeaways:

• A leader isn’t only the driver of business results but also a steward of people - they have the responsibility to make each member’s experience of work better. 
• You can use your own feelings of how you experience work as an indicator of how others may also be feeling. Leading intentionally means being empathetic and compassionate to the people around you.
• In the virtual workspace, you can’t bump into people accidentally anymore like you used to in the office - so you have to promote intentionality when it comes to having conversations, pushing opportunities forward, or helping customers out. 
• Just because you can see people doesn’t mean they’re working - it takes more than presence to create meaningful impact. 
• The blending of work and personal life is more prevalent than ever because of the pandemic. Right now, we’re forced to make it work - but in the future, work and life will be more integrated and leaders will find a way to make that integration productive. 

"When you can recognize that human component, make space for it, we build trust faster, we all have more fun, and we execute as a team more effectively... it's not just the right thing to do from a business perspective. It's also great from a human perspective." —  Charlie DeMarco
