Can We Have Too Much Empathy?

Thrive Global

“Is it possible to have too much empathy?”. I’m often asked this question. My short answer is, “No,” and then I quickly follow up with, “but…”. I can’t recall a time when trying to understand the perspective or feelings of another person was a bad thing.

Samuel Sanders of Heard: “Work closely with employees when solving problems”

Thrive Global

Work closely with employees when solving problems. So often, I find that leaders are afraid to share problems with employees openly. They can be closed off, frantically trying to solve how to get their business out of turbulent times. It is more helpful to work together with employees to develop ideas on how to solve an issue. I remember before my company made a significant pivot, I was talking with coworkers about the struggles we were having.

Leadership is Not About Your Position

Thrive Global

One of my favourite movies for demonstrating what leadership is and isn’t is The Last Castle. In this movie, Robert Redford plays a former General who is sent to a military prison and ends up battling with the Prison Commandant for control of the prison. It is an excellent study in leadership and one which shows the Commandant using his position, power, and control to remain in charge versus the disgraced former General who now has no position.
