Part 5/6:
McCormick emphasizes the importance of caring for employees not just as workers but as whole persons. He recognizes that life outside of work—student debt, emergencies, personal challenges—affects performance and fulfillment. By fostering an environment where employees feel supported in their entire lives, he believes organizations can nurture happiness and loyalty, ultimately leading to greater success.

Contrary to the misconception that power is a hallmark of leadership, McCormick asserts that true power resides in the ability to serve. For him, leadership is about empowering others, lifting them up, and creating conditions for growth—for individuals and the organization alike.
