Course Summary
All organisations require strong leadership to be able to thrive in their respective industries. However, the style of leadership changes greatly from business to business. While some particular industries benefit more than others from certain leadership styles, the empathetic leadership style can be universally applied to a vast amount of organisations.
Empathetic leadership is designed in a way to prioritise the people of the company without sacrificing productivity. An empathetic leader is one who can assess their employees' physical and emotional needs and adjust their personal communication and behaviours to meet these needs better.
Empathic leaders, particularly those utilising the lean methodology, strive to create an environment where all team members feel valued and have a great passion to perform to the best of their abilities. They actively encourage others to share their innovative ideas and will work together to create ambitious objectives and goals.
This style of leadership holds control through trust. An empathetic leader will work to build positive relationships with team members to be able to gain and return their trust. This can allow for better and more confident communication within the team where they can prioritise tasks and address possible conflicts more efficiently.
