Subject: How Fred Rogers Saved PBS with Approachability, Plus New Research

 

Hi! It’s been a while since we’ve emailed. I hope you’re well!


We’ve published two brand new posts on leader approachability in the last week that you might enjoy. This first one is on the leadership lessons of Fred Rogers. It includes some incredible video of Rogers from 1969, using his approachability to win $20 million dollars for PBS from a pretty skeptical group of Senators.


In addition, we posted some terrific new research that shows how leader approachability is associated with increases in:

  • safety compliance behavior (by 65%);

  • proactive employee behavior (by 76%); and

  • positive patient outcomes (by 70%).

There are other positive benefits outlined as well.


If you haven’t been to the website in a while stop in and let us know how you’re doing! And stay on the lookout for some exciting new announcements from Approachable Leadership in 2020!


Best,


Phil Wilson and the team at Approachable Leadership
