We know that compassionate leaders are more effective at bringing the best out of their teams, especially during a crisis.
Here are four things that can help leaders find their compassionate voice:
- Tuning in to what is going on around you and, most importantly, what you feel on the inside
- Being vulnerable and showing this vulnerability to your team by lowering your guard
- Tapping deeper into the emotions that your team is feeling
- Showing your team that you care by treating them with compassion
It’s important to start with the first step, that is, tuning into your own feelings.
I would encourage you to relate to your own feelings and go within before you can do the same for others.
This links back to the theme of Inner Presence which I explore in my book.
Only by doing the work and looking inward can you then build Team Presence and Leadership Presence, which come together to form the Pinnacle of Presence.
