This week, John and Ali talk about what Mature Leadership Empathy REALLY looks like for an organizational leader, and how gaining the skills of that empathy transition it from a feeling we try to generate to a legitimate and helpful leadership practice. 

This may be counterintuitive, but organizations really need to understand the importance of "Person First" as they communicate and implement the work. Sometimes we can highlight the urgency of the work, and forget to realize the implications amd impacts to employees. In this episode, John and Ali discuss why this is critical and some helpful ideas on how to do it.
