Be Human: Lessons from a CEO on How to Be Good and Do Right
Imagine being the CEO of a company that operates more than 475 senior living properties across North America and the United Kingdom during the time of COVID-19. No sector felt the crush of the global pandemic more acutely or more intimately. Having spent a career serving in leadership roles for public and private life science companies in Canada and Europe, Tom Wellner was uniquely prepared to demonstrate the innovation, collaboration, and compassion required to rapidly put in place safeguards for Revera’s residents and navigate the tumultuous organizational and economic disruptions caused by the pandemic.
In Leading with Humanity: How Purpose Creates Value, Wellner shares the ideas, traits, and innovative approaches all leaders in a post-COVID business climate will need to see their companies excel. Employing practical examples of creative problem-solving and applicable ideas for how to develop an effective business culture where people want to work and excel, Wellner provides leaders at all levels with the tools required for modern businesses. Readers will be inspired by the innovations Wellner has helped implement, and their passion for the people they serve will be reignited by this smart, accessible guide to human-focused leadership.
