In the latest episode of Dez Experience Podcast. My special guest was Pamela Straker. The following topics were discussed. Including: Her Life Story? What inspired her to write "Lead Like You Care" and how did your background in psychology and caregiving shape your approach to leadership? Some executives still see empathy as a soft skill. How does she respond to leaders who worry that leading with care might compromise performance or authority? In her work, she connect the absence of care to burnout, turnover and even profit loss. What are some of the tangible costs organizations face when care isn't part of the leadership equation? How has the pandemic reshaped your understanding of leadership and what role does care now play in helping organizations rebuild trust, morale and resilience?
