Hey, I’m Chris Rollins
Leaders today do not fully appreciate the ripple effects of their decisions, and it’s eroding trust in organizations. In our highly interconnected world, a top-down, siloed approach to leadership is not only ineffective, it’s a culture killer.
At a time when trust is low, loneliness is high and our workforce is more distributed than ever, employees are feeling disconnected, undervalued and disengaged at work. As a result, collaboration is suffering and organizations are struggling to retain top talent.
After skyrocketing through corporate America to become a top HR executive by the age of 30, I learned that trust is built and broken through the powerful ripple effects of seemingly insignificant moments.
My Ripple Effect Leadership™ framework helps organizations embrace a new way of thinking that inspires a wave of human-centered leaders across all levels of their business.
The result is an inclusive, empowered and engaged workforce that moves forward faster and brings everyone along.
Ripple Effect thinking motivates people to not only deliver on the goals of the moment, but work together to fulfill a meaningful vision for the future.
