The Cage Free Leader

Yet, when we begin to look at the role of a leader, we note a need for a heightened level of compassion and awareness of nonverbal and verbal cues and cultural competencies.  An effective leader must also be aware of learning styles and have a dexterity that will allow for discipline, steadfastness, precision, accuracy, and focus in order to fulfill the company's mission and vision, which is ultimately to serve and to do that well.  A transformational leader is the epitome of servant leadership. Individuals working for organizations or looking to apply to companies are seeking more than benefits and a salary.  They want to be seen and heard.  They want to know that what they contribute will reflect themselves and those they represent.  Further, this cannot be accomplished without taking the time to realize that leaders are positioned to serve in a capacity that lends to revealing hidden facets of those whom they work alongside.  Here at Cage Free Voices, we identify the ability to sit in the tension of being spiritually, emotionally, and physically adept in business as Cage Free Leadership.

Many leaders separate their spirituality and personal lives from business, but we welcome it.  We believe leadership requires that whole person.  My sister once told me, "Bathsheba, you are a builder of people."  This statement resonates well with what we do and has helped shape our view of leadership further.
