Empathetic Leadership with Robert Irvine: Understanding and Supporting Your Team | Mick Unplugged

Empathetic leadership. What does that actually mean? It means that I know, for example, you have an autistic son or daughter or a grandmother that fell down or a wife that's got, you know, heart disease or whatever those things are. I have to understand why you come into work every day and you're not the best you can be. And my job as a leader is to alleviate those pressures some way shape or form to make you feel good. That a, I'm taking an interest in taking care of you and your family because that's why we do this at the end of the and if you know that maybe I pay some medical bills, maybe I give you time off and still pay you, maybe whatever that case may be, you're going to give me 100% loyalty and 100% work and I'm going to be 100% invested in you and your problems and your family regardless. That's number one.
