Over the past few years especially , leaders have been thrust into many new roles , feeling a heavy head from the number of hats they wear including counsellor, captain & metal health advocate. Often consumed by balancing the declining mental health of their employees in the wake of what the pandemic left behind, being sensitive to people’s anxieties & needs for psychological safety and often working in ways they never have before. In short, they are shouldering a massive emotional burden.

While empathy is important to harness for good leadership. Too much can be a negative, stifling leaders & weighing them down. So when we teach leaders that they don’t have to be emotionally engulfed by the difficulties of the people they lead to support them, this is a huge burden lifted off their shoulders.

Instead of being weighed down by empathy, leaders can learn to experience the uplifted experience of compassion. This is a massive positive shift in how leaders engage with their teams, that greatly benefits all sides. The first step is understanding the difference between empathy and compassion.

If a  a leader leads predominantly with empathy It can lead to indecisiveness & or poor critical decision making. Why you ask? Because empathy causes us to mirror & deeply feel the emotions of others, which can be extremely draining, shift our perspective make it near impossible to consider the greater good .
