Empathetic leadership<\/h3>\n<\/div>

Corporate News<\/span><\/a> | 07.22.2020<\/p>\n<\/div>

It is necessary to start with ourselves to design new ways of working, knowing that technology and digital provide the tools, however, in the end, it is people who are really smart.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>

In 2020 servant leadership<\/strong> was a frequent topic, that explained how important it was for a leader to serve their people, that they listen to them and that they asked them what they could do to make them to feel better.<\/p>\n

According to Harvard Business review,<\/strong> 2021 is going to be the year of the compassionate leadership<\/strong>, a leadership that is based on compassion and wisdom. Compassion is, in the professional field, having positive intentions and a real concern for others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Further studies demonstrate that compassionate leaders are perceived stronger and more competent<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Maybe is even more correct to talk about Empathethic Leadership<\/strong>, a person who really desires to identify with the people he\/she leads, to understand their needs, desires, and their potential, with the aim of helping them to grow continuously. 74% of the interviewed employees<\/strong> from Zenefits for Deloitte<\/strong> has recognized the importance of supportive and empathic leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the pandemic, the Wall Street Journal<\/strong> had discovered that only one company out of five<\/strong> offered training opportunities to learn the art of leading with empathy.<\/p>\n

Leading with empathy means communicating the feeling of sadness, confusion, or hanger.<\/p>\n

According to a work published by The Journal of Behavioral Science, 70% of people of success<\/strong> claims to suffer of the impostor syndrome<\/strong> from time to time. Identify for the first time in 1978, the impostor syndrome is the feeling of having had success only thanked luck<\/strong>, and not thanked to the own capabilities and experiences.<\/p>\n

Communicating these feelings to the team contributes at \u201chumanizing\u201d the leader and to open an authentic dialogue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two challenges that need to overcome:<\/h3>\n

1. Educate leaders on communication and empathy<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Empathy creates stronger connections within people within people, improves collaboration, and increases trust and loyalty.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who is leaded by empathic leaders will manage stress better<\/strong>, whereas who works with managers that behave like \u201cBusiness as usual\u201d<\/strong> he\/she could be less engaged in the company, until reaching a feeling of resentment.<\/p>\n

2. Helping leaders on the listen of people<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The continuously listening<\/strong> enables the obtainment of a deep comprehension of people\u2019s reasons, central elements necessary for allowing each person to give their best<\/strong> reaching at the same time their fulfillment, or professional happiness.<\/p>\n

Conclusuions<\/h3>\n

The HRs can and must support leaders<\/strong> in the listening of their people. How do you do it? It is advised to evaluate these skills and to do these personalized trainings that guide leaders to lead with empathy.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Authoritative leadership:<\/strong> The person who possesses this skill has a positive influence on their working team.<\/li>\n
  2. Empathy test<\/strong>: Ability to live a situation with someone else\u2019s point of view, this allows the comprehension feelings, ideas, desires, and emotions.<\/li>\n
  3. Listening test:<\/strong> listening means getting in tune with the other person and pay attention also to the nonverbal signs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
