Is it a universal truth that a business must choose between supporting its workers and making money? Leaders often act as if this is the case. However, the data tells a very different story¿ Being Human (Centric): A Leader''s Guide to Culture, People, and Profits makes the case that prioritizing the well-being and development of the individual over the organization, while on the path to results, not only CAN boost profits, but WILL. In business, we''ve been led to believe that it''s people or profits. Using the power of paradoxical thinking, exploring the possibility of "and", and using the five keys to human-centric leadership, leaders can embrace the idea that there doesn''t have to be a choice between them. It could be people AND profits. A true leader - whether an executive or a leader of one - can take advantage of the real universal truth in business: We''re all humans who go to work, not workers who go home. Learn how to harness the power of the human worker to build a business that will see increased profits and higher employee satisfaction by picking up this book and giving human-centric leadership a chance to change how you lead.

Panelists and speakers offered a variety of perspectives in answer to these difficult questions, and challenged each other to identify exactly what evidence-based spectrum policy might look like.
