Leading With Compassion: A Guide to Successful Leadership by Building Trust and Gaining Commitment - Paperback

by Katherine Parks (Author)

Throughout her twenty-five years in leadership roles Katherine built many successful teams by leading with compassion. It isn't difficult to display sympathy, empathy, emotional maturity and kindness -- compassion -- if that's in your nature. But the pressurized maelstrom of business culture can stamp these qualities out of one's nature and leave resentment and anxiety. Compassion bonds a leader to the team, whereas the lack of compassion separates them.
