    23: Empathy Is NOT Being Nice What Great Leaders Actually Do ft. Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller

    What most leaders call "empathy" is actually just being a doormat — and there's a big difference.Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller is a TEDx speaker, executive coach, author of The Empathic Leader, and has brought her frameworks to the stages of Oxford and Cambridge. With a TEDx talk approaching 150K views in just four months, she's at the forefront of one of the most urgent conversations in leadership today: what empathy actually is, why it's not what you think, and why it may be the most valuable business skill of the next 20 years. In this episode of The Midgame Mindset, Rich and Dr. Melissa go deep on why empathy is being both weaponized and misunderstood — from performative CEOs crying on LinkedIn to leaders using "too much empathy" as an excuse to avoid hard decisions.
