There’s a hunger for leadership in today’s workplace. Yet, not all leadership approaches truly engage employees at the level they need. Empathetic leadership connects employee understanding to motivation, leading to greater engagement. If you currently lead employees or have plans to grow your business, this workshop might be for you.
In this interactive workshop, you will:
· Explore the concept of empathetic leadership
· Assess your empathetic tendencies in the workplace
· Identify two types of empathy, and how each applies differently to employees based on their preferences
· Receive 3 tools to help you understand employee’s needs, lead with empathy to match those needs, and overcome obstacles
