This week I'm talking to you about why empathy is crucial for great leaders.
I cover :
What is empathy
Why does it matter in leadership
Whether empathy can be learned
How it can improve performance, create connections and
What you can do to be more empathic.
Why empathy is crucial for great leaders and what is empathy anyway? Empathy is the ability to experience and relate to the thoughts, emotions, or experience of others. So it's about truly feeling what the other person is feeling.
You know I often talk about how we don't 'do' emotions. But empathy is about connecting with emotions and feelings.
Why does empathy matter?
If we were to do a list of successful leaderships skills, empathy would rarely be included, but it's essential in my opinion.
I'm often asked the question "can we learn empathy"? It's often thought that we either have it or have not. You'll have to listen to the episode for the answer to this one!
Listen more for the ways that you can improve empathy.
