We all remember the toxic leaders we’ve experienced in our lives…
❌ Feeling sick to your stomach when you interacted with or saw them
❌ A lack of desire to come to work
❌ Feeling inadequate regularly
❌ The years of trauma that you carried because of them
But we also remember what it was like when we experienced empathetic leadership…
✔️ Feeling ethereal and inspired
✔️ Invigorated to come to work
✔️ Feeling empowered to be great
✔️ The years of confidence that you carried because of them
Lead with empathy. Act with kindness.
