Compassionate Leadership Development
Research indicates that compassionate leaders are seen as stronger, and their employees are more engaged.
Compassionate leaders show true concern for their employees, they value connection, and they listen with an intent to understand. This creates trust, loyalty, joy, and collaboration within a team.
Often misunderstood, compassion doesn’t imply weakness or a “soft” approach to leadership. Instead, compassionate leaders work to help their employees thrive, which includes firm and constructive feedback. As Brené Brown says, “Clear is kind.”
Compassion Makes Good Leaders Great.
