What Is Compassionate Leadership?

In this episode, we’re continuing a series about rehumanizing the workplace. I know from conversations with so many of you that you desire to lead in a way that builds people up and delivers results. It’s not one or the other–it’s both.

Well, that idea of leading with empathy while delivering results is the premise of a new book by Donato Tramuto entitled The Double Bottom Line: How Compassionate Leaders Captivate Hearts and Deliver Results.

In this episode, Donato will talk about what compassionate leadership means–and what it doesn’t mean. He’ll talk about how empathy is part of the equation–but not enough. He’ll talk about the role trust has in compassionate leadership–and how we can take practical steps to increase trust with those we lead. Donato will talk about why he doesn’t particularly like the term feedback, but also how we can help someone improve their performance is a compassionate way. Throughout it all, you’ll get to know a genuinely interesting person–someone who is making this world better through his focus on compassionate leadership.
