Empathy is not just good for society. It’s great for business. And this message I’ve been touting for years is finally getting its time in the spotlight.

And now, two articles about why empathy leads to leadership success….
Fast Company: Why Empathy is Essential for Business Success
This is a very personal story to show what empathetic leadership really looks like for all those claiming it’s weak, and how it saved my life.
It’s been a longtime dream of mine to be published in Fast Company and I couldn’t be more proud of this first article. Given the dude bro rhetoric going around that empathy has no place in business, that it is weak, and whatever nonsense they are spewing, this couldn’t be more timely.
Empathetic leaders are not simpering cowards who cave into everyone and anyone. That is submission, not empathy, folks.
They are STRONG ENOUGH to listen to other points of view without defensiveness or fear. Those leaders also know when it’s time to make a decision and move forward to achieve a goal. It’s HOW they do it that matters. They care. They bring people along. They acknowledge hardship. They consider new options if they make sense.
Hope you enjoy and will share!

Now that I have your attention, I wanted to share this Inc. Magazine article in which Moshe Engelberg graciously interviewed me about the ROI of empathy
The more we beat the drum about the DATA and RESEARCH behind all the benefits organizations reap when they invest in strengthening leaders’ empathy, applying it practically to the workplace, and fostering thriving cultures, the more we prove that empathy is not just good for society….it’s great for business.
Would love to know what you think of the articles! Please share on social and tag me!
