inclusive leaders in the workplace so that better results for employees, the
organization, and themselves are achievable. Every. Single. Day.

Our company recently implemented CARE training for the management team based on Alex Draper's CARE to Win. To be honest, I wasn't that big a fan of the training however our CEO gave me a copy of the book which is really pretty good. Draper provides a different perspective to leadership by emphasizing the importance of genuine care and empathy in building strong, motivated teams. What it boils down to is how to be a good person, and applying that to business management.
The book is broken into four separate sections, each dealing with the four core premises of his leadership framework, which form the CARE acronym: Clarity, Autonomy, Relationships and Equity. Draper then outlines several key biases that leaders need to be aware of in order to fully embrace the CARE leadership model. These biases can prevent leaders from effectively creating environments of psychological safety and high team performance.
The book is well-organized, and Draper’s conversational style makes it an enjoyable read. His insights are practical, easy to understand, and applicable across various industries and organizational levels.
