SIMON SINEK ON EMPATHY & LEADERSHIP

Leaders practice empathy

“One of the most important sentiments any leader can express to someone in their charge is, “I’ve got your back. There’s nothing you can break that I can’t help put back together. I believe in you even when you no longer believe in yourself.”

Empathy—the ability to recognize and share other people’s feelings—is the most important instrument in a leader’s toolbox. The daily practice of putting the well-being of others first has a compounding and reciprocal effect in relationships, in friendships, in the way we treat our clients and our colleagues.” - Simon Sinek ( Source: https://simonsinek.com/commit/leaders-practice-empathy)
