Sparks: Self Compassion Can Make You a Better Leader
Listen now
Description
Why do leaders neglect self-compassion? We often talk about leadership in terms of driving results, motivating teams, and making an impact. But one crucial aspect is often overlooked: self-compassion. Leaders are constantly focused on their external impact, yet managing their internal world is equally important. Without self-compassion, leaders risk burnout, poor decision-making, and strained relationships. How can you inspire and lead others when you're constantly battling your own inner critic? In today's Leadership Spark, we'll talk about how to embrace self-compassion to lead more effectively. Self-compassion is not about letting yourself off the hook—it's about recognizing your challenges, learning from them, and treating yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a friend.   ________________ Start your day with the world’s top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
