Compassion Isn’t a Soft Leadership Skill. It’s a Crucial Power Skill, with Spectacular Smith - TSE015
"Compassion is the key. While empathy is the tendency to feel others’ emotions and take them on as if you were feeling them, compassion is the intent to contribute to the happiness and well-being of others. Compassion, therefore, is more proactive, which means we can make a habit of it. By doing so, we can counter the loss of empathy that results from holding power, and in turn enable better leadership and human connections at work." - Harvard Business Review (Leadership Article - February 2018)
