Leaders: Are we keeping empathy at the forefront? Building empathy intentionally into mission and purpose is not just a moral imperative – it’s also a bottom-line necessity. This is why.
When you’re clear on your purpose and mission, and everyone understands the expected behaviors, the next question becomes:
Are we fostering a climate that truly embraces the diversity of experiences, values, and beliefs that shape our organizational culture and climate every day?
As leaders, how intentional are we in grounding ourselves in the people and perspectives that drive our mission forward? If we lose sight of empathy in that process, we risk losing sight of the mission itself.
So, as we lead, if we’re not actively keeping empathy at the forefront while pursuing our goals, can we truly unlock the full potential of the talent within our organization?
