If someone who works for you is having serious challenges at home, do you believe that they would confide in you? Being compassionate towards your team is one thing but how do you handle a situation where you are the one who is going through personal issues? In becoming the consummate leader by attraction, compassion in crisis is one of the toughest lessons we have to learn.
In previous episodes, we’ve spoken about the importance of creating a culture of caring and in difficult situations like these, the tone from the top becomes even more important. As leaders, we have to be able to not only navigate these situations but also to prepare ourselves to walk the fine line between having compassion and the need for productivity.
In this episode, Mathew and I talk about what it means to be compassionate as a leader in times of personal crisis. We dive into the importance of compassion for leaders, the significance of good relationships within a team, how you should set the tone at the top, finding the balance between compassion and the need for productivity, and do much more!
As always, thank you for listening! To hear more great stories lessons on leadership, life, and compassion for yourself and others in the workplace, join us on next week’s episode. What has your experience been with compassion in the workplace? Are you open with your team? Have you had to handle a situation with a team member whose productivity suffered? Let us know - we love hearing from you.
