The secret to business success lies in embracing authenticity and humanity in the workplace. As human beings, we are inherently social creatures, and our relationships have a profound impact on our personal and professional lives. Companies that recognize the importance of relationships in the workplace are more likely to retain productive, creative, and loyal employees, which ultimately gives them a competitive edge.

The most successful leaders are those who actively form quality relationships with their employees. They honor fundamental human qualities such as authenticity, openness, and basic politeness and apply them in their daily interactions. By paying attention to and genuinely caring about the effects people have on one another, leaders can create a winning culture where employees perform at the top of their game and are motivated to work.

A human company is one that is real, genuine, aligned, and true to itself. It flaunts its humanity, instead of hiding it. A real company values its employees and creates a work environment that fosters collaboration, creativity, and growth. By embracing authenticity and humanity in the workplace, companies can build a strong and sustainable competitive advantage.
