-
- Marketing
The book is coming! September 10 is the day that The Empathy Dilemma: How Successful Leaders Balance Performance, People, and Personal Boundaries hits shelves to help leaders dedicated to people-centered practices to get the best performance possible and balance the demands of the business with the needs of their people.
I am so excited to share this with you! For the next 5 months, I'll be devoting a Hot Take episode to one of the 5 core pillars of effective empathetic leaders, outlined in the book. See, I emphasize EFFECTIVE because it's not just about being empathetic - you have to actually perform, deliver, and get results, too. You as a leader can and must balance empathy with accountability. And today we're going to talk about the first pillar to accomplish that…Self-Awareness.

Key Takeaways:
Humility and empathy go hand in hand. You have to let your ego go and embrace your curiosity to learn and grow. Some ways you can become more self-aware include: requesting input from teammates and colleagues, leveraging self-assessment tools (such as the Enneagram, DISC, or Myers Briggs), and learning to listen deeply.You can pre-order now through August 27, 2024, to get 30% off your copy of The Empathy Dilemma for stories from leaders, and recommendations for tactics to try to put these strategies into practice and benefit from the results.
"Self-reflection is not woo-woo; it's a smart strategy. You need to cultivate a deep and ever-evolving understanding of your people, as well as of yourself." — Maria Ross
