Value based leadership: Nurturing Associates, shaping culture, and leading the way

As a senior leader of a small or medium-sized company, I completely understand how heavy that weight can feel sometimes—because I’ve been there. The truth is, the constant overwhelm, and burnout is something many seem to be on the edge of lately. In fact, nearly 60% of CEOs report feeling “often” or “always” on the brink of burnout, with the constant pressures of leadership being a primary cause. You’re doing everything in your power to keep the business on track, but it’s not easy when you’re juggling high performers who bring toxic energy, good-hearted employees who struggle to hit their targets, and those who seem to do nothing but stir up negativity—or worse, the “kucheza chini ya maji” crew—the ones who operate so quietly under the radar that you’re never quite sure what they’re contributing.

One of the most challenging situations is watching a high performer with great character—the type of employee who’s truly committed to excellence—struggle to fully deliver because they’re bogged down by distractions, delays, and conflicts. You see their frustration growing, and even more concerning, you see them contemplating leaving. Unfortunately, this is a situation many
leaders face, with studies showing that up to 70% of employees feel disengaged at work due to toxic environments and a misalignment with company values.

Your workforce is diverse—spanning different generations, including Gen Z and soon Gen Alpha—each with their own communication styles, expectations, levels of education, and experiences. The challenge of getting everyone aligned, working toward the same goals, and building a positive culture where trust and values lead the way is immense. You want a team
that’s productive and cohesive—where everyone is on the same page, embodying the company’s values, and driving forward with a shared purpose. But getting there? It can feel almost impossible when you’re already stretched thin.
