Cisco CEO: Leaders need to be human leaders

Chuck Robbins discusses being a leader during a tumultuous time.

I think that it is so important right now for leaders, two to again be human leaders. And we've We've had a discussion over the last few years that the whole work life balancing work in life have completely blended and even more so in the last 15 months. Which means that issues that people are facing in their personal life, you can't keep them out of work. And we've seen that with politics. We've seen that with mental health. We've seen that with issues of stress. We've seen that with everything that we see, and so you, you we as leaders, have to be willing to embrace and get into these conversations. And some of them are incredibly difficult and very tough into France. Point, I've told our employees we all say we want to embrace diversity. Well, part of that diversity is on certain issues. We are going to think in the opposite of one of your colleagues. You're gonna think exactly the opposite of one of your colleagues because they've been brought up in a different way and they've been taught different things, and I'm just trying to encourage him, sit down and try to listen and seek to understand why and you might learn something and just spend time to get the other side, and I think that that's what we're going to have to do.
