Making hard decisions as a leader doesn’t mean you need to leave your humanity at the door. Rather compassionate leadership is a lifelong journey of committing to mindfully practicing transparency, care, and empathy. Based on research evidence and discussions with top execs from global companies, this book is a must-read for aspiring and seasoned leaders navigating leadership in a post-pandemic world.

This was a very well-written and researched book. It provided a good balance of anecdotal stories as well as research and charts to support the learnings on compassionate leadership. I found myself wanting to stop and highlight several passages as well as breaking away from reading to discuss interesting bits with my husband.
I highly recommend for anyone in a leadership position or aspiring to be.

Compassion is the quality of having positive intentions and real concern for others. Compassion in leadership creates stronger connections between people. It improves collaboration, raises levels of trust, and enhances loyalty. In addition, studies find that compassionate leaders are perceived as stronger and more competent.
