ceo. heart-centric leader. human steward.
Robert Chapman, Chairman and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller Companies, is committed to people-centric leadership, continuous improvement, and disciplined growth to realize a vision of "Achieving Principled Results on Purpose." [www.barry-wehmiller.com]
I want to touch as many lives as positively as I can while I’m on this earth. That’s the core thought from which everything comes. It guides almost every decision I make.
To me, fulfillment has a profoundly deeper meaning than happiness. When I’m fulfilled, I feel that I matter. I want everyone to be fulfilled, to know that their time here has purpose and meaning, to know that they’re using the gifts they’re blessed with to the fullest and are proud of what they’re doing.
At the core, people want to know that they matter and that someone cares. By letting people know they matter, they have a chance to discover and develop their gifts, to share them toward a common vision, and to be appreciated.
Only ten percent of the people who go to work each day feel they work for a company that cares about them. Why do we bring precious children into the world, raise them, want a good future for them, only for them to have a 90 percent chance that wherever they end up nobody will care about them – they’ll only be a means to someone else’s end?
It’s so easy to reverse that. We have a stewardship responsibility with each person in an organization, to help them have a better life. If, in our organizations, we send people home each day with a sense that they matter, that the organization cares about them, then they have a better chance of living a good life at home. If they live a good life at home, the world becomes a better place for all of us. This is about genuinely caring for the people whose lives we touch. We help each other. And that creates the world we want to live in.
Great leaders are not great managers – just the opposite. Great leaders allow the greatness in their team to show. It’s said that we’ve paid people for their hands for years, when they would’ve given us their heads and their hearts for free if we’d known how to ask. I’ve been in an organization for 40 years and there’s nothing more true than that.
As stewards of each other’s lives, we have the chance to profoundly impact each other, by asking for and offering our heads and our hearts.
