Summary:
"
Leadership
is
hard
. But
how
do
you balance compassion for your people with effectiveness in getting the job done? A global pandemic, Depression-level unemployment, civil and political unrest. From New York to Barcelona to Hong Kong, it feels as if the world as we know it is faltering. Economies are unwinding; jobs are disappearing. Through it all, our spirit is being tested. Now more than ever, it's imperative for leaders to demonstrate compassion. Compassion is the quality of having positive intentions and real concern for others. Compassion in
leadership
creates stronger connections between people. It improves collaboration, raises levels of trust, and enhances loyalty. In addition, studies find that
compassionate
leaders are perceived as stronger and more competent. But, as founder and Managing Director of Potential Project Rasmus Hougaard and his longtime coauthor Jacqueline Carter show in this powerful, practical book, most leaders and experts overlook a key aspect of
compassionate
leadership
: compassion on its own is not enough. You must always balance caring for your people with
leadership
wisdom: effectiveness in getting
things
done. These two elements-wisdom and compassion-are forever in tension with each other, and every leader has experienced times when they erred too much on one side or the other, with costly consequences. Being an effective leader often requires giving tough feedback, making
hard
decisions that disappoint people, and, in some cases, laying people off. Showing compassion in
leadership
can't come at the expense of wisdom and effectiveness. You need both, and this book shows you
how
to strike the right balance. With rich stories and examples based on data from fifteen thousand leaders in more than five thousand companies spanning nearly one hundred countries, as well as practical tools, assessments, and advice for leaders and managers at any level,
Compassionate
Leadership
is your indispensable guide to doing the
hard
work of
leadership
in a
human
way
."--From publisher.
