Compassionate leadership takes courage, resilience and belief – it is about doing hard things in a human way. To do their best, people need to work in an environment of humanity, kindness and supportive action. When a leader is present and focuses on others, truly explores situations that challenge their teams, and takes thoughtful and intelligent action, the goal of achieving collective outcomes and satisfying individual needs can be achieved. Through higher levels of trust, improved collaboration, increased engagement, stronger relationships, and more innovation, everyone wins.
