Compassionate leadership is a type of leadership where there is a clear focus on building relationships through careful attending to, understanding, empathising with and supporting other people. Compassionate leaders value, respect and care for their team members enabling them to reach their potential and do their best work. In this podcast we examine what it means to be a Compassionate Leader and how is it different from inclusive leadership. We also discuss how we can be more compassionate as leaders and overcome the risks of low compassion.
