My Tenets
Love
Love is the unconditional acceptance of self and others. It is the willingness to separate a person from their behaviour and to appreciate that people are more than what they do or have. That people are more than what you experience and observe in the moment. People regardless of level, status or path in life respond to Love. The most ordinary of human beings can achieve the most extraordinary of results with love and encouragement. Love is the most fundamental need of a human being and why would this need be any different in the workplace? Love is both relational and intentional. The presence of Love – genuine, caring, and unconditional Love - for self and others in the workplace is the real key to achieving extraordinary results.
Leadership
Leadership is based on the belief that we all are leaders, regardless of status, what do or what you have. It is about who you are, and this is the most impactful way of being in business and in life. The core differentiating requirements of inspiring people and engaging talent are the most difficult requirements to meet by any leader regardless of his or her level. And to do this in times of change and a requirement for followership can be harder still. Yetunde’s definition of leadership is therefore this: ‘Leadership is having the clarity of understanding of where you want to go, the knowledge of how you want to get there and the ability to, with love and without condition mobilise people to follow you. “
Results
Results is based on the premise that we all as leaders must strive to live a life of purpose and contribution. A key question every leader and particularly those in the world of work should ask is this: “Whose life, performance, career, wellbeing, etc. did I most impact positively today?” it is also based on the importance of skilfully deploying your own talent, skills, and capabilities as well as that of others that are in your care. It is the willingness to invest your time in developing, coaching, mentoring, supporting, advocating for, and championing others. It is a focus on making a difference for self and others.
