Oprah Winfrey once said, “Leadership is about empathy.”

The ability to relate and connect with people, to inspire, and empower their life is a paramount leadership skill. It has become a top management priority, particularly due to blending of their personal and professional lives throughout the pandemic.

At WLH, we define leadership empathy as the ability to build understanding around someone’s thoughts, feelings, and rationale through inclusion. We identify three benefits to leaders developing empathy:

1. Enable their people to seek perspectives, ideas, and solutions
2. Develop deeper insights to coaching direct reports
3. Build trust with others by ensuring they feel involved, valued, and respected

WLH brings deep expertise and leadership development to helping leaders activate their empathetic engagement skills.
