060 - Why is empathy a vital leadership skill?

We believe that people and teams underperform.  Not because they want to, not because they mean to but because they can't get out of their own way.   This may not be down to them; it could be the culture or the environment.  Our experiences shape our mindsets and habits, often causing us to get stuck.

Changing behaviour requires a change in mindset.  Join us on this journey as we discuss everything from 'how we think' to techniques and shortcuts to help us shape our thoughts to help us achieve our goals.   We will be asking a range of questions about how the way that we think shapes our ability to change, be more productive and lead effectively.
