A leader with clear boundaries can actually empathize better. Boundaries are commitments you make that don't require others to change. Without them, you're just reacting to your own feelings instead of truly understanding theirs.

Boundaries are what we tell someone we will do and they require the other person to do nothing. And empathy for feelings requires boundaries. Because if you're not having up a boundary, you're kind of responding to the way that feeling came into your body, that's not empathy. You want a leader who sees that your feelings are real and is not infected by them. And the only thing that stops that infection or contagion is a boundary.
