CARE to Win

“Quiet quitting, hybrid workplace, toxic boss . . . How do you lead today? A good place to start is by reading this book.” —Keith Ferrazzi, #1 New York Times–bestselling author

Today, most employees stay or leave an organization because of their direct manager. Are team members provided what they need to be their best self and do their best work, or is it withheld by someone above them? Are their managers fulfilling the role of a people-first leader? Does company leadership make the working environment a psychologically safe space that maximizes both human and business performance? Some do, most don’t—only because most aren’t trained to.

But how do leaders build high-performing, psychologically safe teams?

Alex Draper, the Founder of DX Learning, has created the CARE Equation: a four-part playbook that will help leaders establish an environment employees not only feel comfortable speaking up in, but one where they want to stay at and feel like they can win in. In following the research of positive leadership and psychology, Draper’s CARE Equation is based on the idea that when leaders provide clarity (C), give autonomy (A), build relationships (R), and establish equity (E), their teams are more likely to be psychologically safe and perform at their highest potential.

CARE to Win is the much-needed modern and relevant guide for managers, their employees, and organizations. It outlines the importance of each CARE component and breaks down internal biases that keep leaders from CAREing to the fullest. Through personal stories, research, and exercises, Alex shows that when leaders CARE, everyone wins—because CARE is the human skill that gets the hard stuff done.

Become the leader that sets your team up to win. Every. Single. Day.

Alex Draper started life as a trainee schoolteacher in the UK. In 2002 he moved into adult education when he joined a global management training organization. In 2005 he moved to Chicago to build and lead the company’s operation in America. It was there he found his passion and purpose around developing people’s leadership capabilities (EQ) versus management skills (IQ), and in 2015, he started his own organization, DX, built on these ideas. DX combines human capital optimization with progressive leadership development to expose and eliminate toxicity and prepare organizations, leaders, and teams to put people first and create companies worth working for. In using his CARE Equation, Alex has helped develop and unlock leadership potential in over forty thousand people through DX’s keynotes, conferences, offsites, retreats, and leadership development pro-grams all over the world, building a human-centric movement while still being a people-first leader himself both at work and at home.
