Listen "E13: Empathy In Leadership"
Episode Synopsis
Research shows that women tend to score higher on empathy-related traits, but paradoxically, the workplace often encourages them to suppress this strength to avoid being perceived as weak or emotional. In doing so, we risk losing one of our greatest assets as leaders. Without empathy, teams become transactional. Relationships fracture. Morale dips. But here's the truth: empathy isn't weakness—it's wisdom. It's one of the most strategic tools a leader can use to build trust, connection, and commitment. Emotional Intelligence helps us wield empathy with courage and intentionality.
