Growing Authority into Influence | MWM
Great leaders use empathy to turn things around and make them positive. You’ll find that many leaders try to promote you into excitement instead of lead into excitement, but through empathy, great leaders can turn the grind into opportunity, turn problems into answers, and make a path of complacency into a path of energy!



1 Sure-Fire Improve Your Relationships with Your Team Members | MWM
Learn To Lead Through The Shoes Of Others = As part of the empathy series, we learn about being able to have an imagination and being able to walk in someone else's shoes and see the world the way they see it. Great leaders take the time to understand the perspective of others even if they don't agree with it. Great leaders don't just walk the talk, they walk in others shoes and try to understand the world as others see it.





Discover Your Leadership Superpower | MWM
Empathy Is Your Leadership Superpower = Empathy is your leadership superpower. When you lead with empathy you create trust and foster a culture where people feel seen, valued, and heard. Empathy unlocks the door for you to deepen trust and build stronger relationships.



Help Carry Someone Else’s Load | MWM
Relate With Others = Empathy is figuring out a way to understand what another person is feeling, and it allows you to know what it is like to walk in their shoes. When you have empathy you can see into the soul of another’s struggle and relate with them. Be an empathetic leader, help the people around you carry their load. 





EMPATHY
Listen To The Heart Of Others = Empathy is a precursor to any good exchange with another person. When we empathize with others, we are feeling with them. It is different from sympathy where you just feel bad for another person. Just as doctors listen and diagnose before they prescribe, leaders need to listen and empathize before they lead. 


How to Be A Leader That People Love To Follow





Why Empathy Matters: Simon Sinek on Humanizing the Workplace
We must all try to empathize before we criticize. Ask someone what's wrong before telling them they're wrong.

John Steinbeck was born in Salinas, California, where he spent the summers of his youth working on nearby ranches — the setting for much of his literary work, including "Of Mice and Men" and "East of Eden." His experiences gave him insights into the lives of the downtrodden, who often served as the protagonists in his novels. These struggles, not to mention living through the Great Depression, gave Steinbeck a greater appreciation for the good times he enjoyed. Steinbeck followed up the quote above with, "You only truly, deeply appreciate and are grateful for something when you compare and contrast it to something worse."




Would You Rather Win or Be Kind? | MWM
Would You Rather Win Or Be Kind? = If you have the choice to be right—to win—or be kind, always choose to be kind. You don't always have to be right, you don't have to win everything, instead we can be kind and ask others their opinions in order to connect.


What it Really Means to be Kind | MWM
Look For A Need = Take advantage of today to be kind. Kindness embodies being good, while also taking useful action. It is being nice and helpful, gentle and useful, compassionate and generous, being positive and doing good. Kindness doesn’t only mean being nice, it means a willingness to act. Look for a need and meet it if you can. Who can you be kind to today?





What Kindness is and is Not
https://youtu.be/cCJjaOQSX-o
Encourage Others! = One of the 7 words of love from Joel Manby’s book, Love Works, is Kind—an extremely important leadership principle. As leaders, we must have tough conversations with people and hold them accountable, but we can still lead with kindness. We do this by making someone’s day better. Every time you come into contact with someone, you can make their day better or make their day worse. Every day, try to provide encouragement in each of your interactions, be positive, and improve the day. (You can learn more about the 7 timeless principles for effective leaders in Love Works)
