In this episode of the PRovoke Media podcast, Adam Pawluk, head of Labs at JPA Health, breaks down the concept of “radical compassion” and its increasing importance in organizational leadership. Pawluk shares why empathetic leaders are better positioned to cultivate psychological safety, a necessary condition for creativity, risk-taking, and sustained innovation. With data showing that employees with compassionate senior leaders are nearly five times more likely to report being innovative, Pawluk makes the case for empathy as a strategic advantage, not a soft skill.
