When we talk about leadership, the perception is that it's off to the side, separate from the results. We have to manage people and lead them, but we don't always marry those two things together. The data shows that if you can balance doing hard things in a human way, retention goes up, and performance improves. I realized that this was the direction we needed to take. Compassion is not merely about being nice. It's not about being soft as a leader.

As the global bank works hard to strengthen its competitive position, the company is taking tough actions to reduce complexity and increase synergies. At the same time, a major culture transformation is underway to deepen levels of ownership, productive debate, and client focus. Citi is partnering with Potential Project to provide leaders with a framework and practical skills for driving these hard but necessary changes in a human way. Citi’s Human-Centered Leadership program builds the behaviors and habits that create a culture of excellence and teach leaders different ways of supporting their people.
