Leading with Empathy: Transformational Leadership
|
Welcome Back, Reader What does it mean to lead with empathy?Do you know a leader who struggles with managing conflict? If you shift the focus away from the word "conflict" and, instead, focus on the intent of helping someone to improve, the conversation gets easier. Do you know a team or an individual who is burned out (or headed that way)? Let's look at why that might be:
The root of the issue may be a focus on work ('what'), rather than a focus on 'why' and 'how'. Empathy is the ability to see things from another's perspective. Leading with empathy is about changing the focus to being human-centric. When you change the focus of difficult conversations, when you dig deeper into the root cause of issues, when you care enough to see the human behind the work, you are a different type of leader. ...and the transformation?When your team feels seen, heard, and valued as people, it's amazing the difference that makes. In my experience, it is the difference that gets noticed by your boss, by other teams, and in overall morale, productivity, & retention. It's when other leaders start asking you what you did (or are doing). It's when survey scores jump to the 90th percentile in less than 1 year. It's when the wrong people leave and the right people stay.... and excel.

Welcome Back, Reader It's been said... but it deserves repeating Yes, it feels like it would be easier if only you had THAT title. But I've witnessed too many who get THAT title... and still think they need the next one to make a difference. The truth is that it was never about the title. No one ELSE can give you the permission that you believe you need to make an impact. If people look to you for advice... If they feel comfortable coming to you when there is an issue... If you make others...
Welcome Back, Reader New Yorker Cartoon by Kendra Allenby “At this point in your career, your only possible promotion is to management, where you will stop doing the work you love and use a skill set you don’t have and we don’t teach.” It would be funny, if it wasn't true As a leader who has had employees say they don't want to go into leadership but they still want to be recognized or promoted in some way, why does it have to be like this? ..."your only possible promotion is to management"....
Welcome Back, Reader It seems like everyone is burned out... And if you don't think you're burned out, every article you read tells you that you are! How do you know for sure? Sometimes all you have to do is ask your family or friends... they see it, they feel it. It has to do with how much energy you have left AFTER you leave the office. How often you feel that you HAVE to check in on work after hours... even if just for ONE quick thing. How truly PRESENT are you with your family and...
