This is a short excerpt from a YouTube video monologue arguing that visible, human leadership—leaders who engage directly with staff—is crucial for building pride and enthusiasm at work. The speaker cites personal habits (stopping at desks, being loud and approachable) and references their team and Christchurch NZ as beneficiaries of this leadership style.
It takes me 25 minutes to get coffee because I stop at every desk on the way to the office. And Hannah works in our office. She'll probably. I'm very loud, you know, when I'm in the office. Now, I'm not saying that's the only type of leadership style, but actually being a visible leader and being human is so important in getting people to love what they do and enjoy coming to work. You know, I know that my team are proud of me and I know that they're proud to work for Christchurch nz. And part of that is because I'm one of them, you know, I represent them and. And that's really important. I think. You can't underestimate the power of being a visible human leader.
