Building An Empathetic Team
On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung talks about empathy in action is how visionary leaders are changing the game, why it should be at the heart of leadership, & how it’s reshaping the business landscape.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The essence of empathy in action is a world where leaders don’t only understand their team members, but actively seek to connect with their experiences. That’s something that’s quite unusual to see in the current business environment. It’s not just about being kind, it’s about fostering a workplace culture that values the unique perspectives of each individual.
- Lead by example & cultivate a workplace culture that’s not just a buzzword, but a daily practice. Foster open conversations & open communications across the board, across the different departments.
- Understand the diversity in your team and value the unique perspectives of each & every individual & what they’re bringing into your organisation. Accept that, recognise it, & make them feel heard.
- Provide support & resources. Empathy extends beyond understanding & involves action. Provide the necessary resources to help your team members navigate challenges. This could include mentorship programmes, mental health resources, or flexible work arrangements – which has become much more common in recent years. But, do not be so fixed in your approach, look at if it’s really going to work for your company before accepting or denying proposals.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Empathy is not just a feeling, it’s a powerful force that can transform the way we lead & do business.’
‘93% of employees are more likely to stay with an empathetic employer.’
‘Active listening is important & a genuine concern for the wellbeing of your team.’
‘Empathetic leaders seek to understand the experiences of other & leverage diversity points for innovation & growth.’
