Empathetic Leader

Leadership clubbed with Empathy will results in Effective and successful Leadership. Having empathy towards the team and working with them establishes a strong relationship and which will result in a very strong cohesive unit being formed.

There is a big misconception that, businesses and leaders shouldn’t be empathetic as it will result in losing the momentum and not meeting the timelines for the expected results. An Effective leader being empathetic, will immediately work on mitigation plan keeping the priority with each individual then the results will be achieved and at the same time the team will become a very strong cohesive and trustworthy which will go beyond their capabilities to make the leader a successful one.

Effective leaders should always try to work towards Cognitive, emotional and compassionate empathy being established with the team. To master this art, the biggest trait which any empathetic leader should have is being an active listener and strong patience.

My Sincere advice to all leaders to be an effective empathetic leader, is be an active listener and establish high level of patience….
