How to Lead With Compassion
Date 10/19/2017
Leading with compassion is sometimes challenging, because it requires you to resist making snap judgements, bring perspective to the situation, and accept that you don’t have all the answers. In short, a compassionate leader embraces different points of view, stays humble, and knows how to navigate nasty confrontations. Whether you’re a leader or not, you can incorporate the principles of compassionate leadership into your work life.
Welcome Different Points of View
When you allow people with different perspectives to have a say, you’re giving them a chance to contribute to the project at hand. While you don’t have to accept their suggestions, you can give them the satisfaction of being heard. If you’re resisting this advice, have a psychic chat to see what unresolved issues in your own life may be standing in your way.
In welcoming different points of view, a compassionate leader gives them fair consideration and doesn’t dismiss them out of hand. The outcome may surprise you. When engaged in a group project, some people’s far-fetched ideas may spark the most important revelation that pulls it all together. Be compassionate and respectful in inviting others to participate, even if you know their ideas are different from yours.
Learn Humility
Being humble means getting rid of the “I deserve this” mentality. Instead, you have a “my contributions matter” perspective that you apply to yourself and to others. When you see your own work and the work of your colleagues as being important to the overall success of your company or nonprofit group, you have a healthy, humble attitude about your role in the organization. The best phone psychics can help you think about your past, present, and future career path so that you can view your accomplishments with humility and your failures with acceptance.
Some people nurse their superiority at work by believing no one else can do their job. If you’re suffering from this attitude, develop humility by training someone to be as good as you are. By elevating another person, you’re living out compassionate leadership. You’re also developing a person who’s qualified to fill in when you’re out on vacation or sick leave.
Walk Away From Nasty Confrontations
People who aim for compassionate leadership do not engage in nasty confrontations. Learn how to walk away without stooping to the other person’s level. To do this, even when the other person is hurling personal insults at you, all you need to do is activate your compassion. What’s happening is all about the person who’s insulting you. Maybe this person has just gotten some very bad news. Perhaps he or she doesn’t have healthy ways of coping with stress. By viewing their inappropriate behavior with compassion, you empower yourself to walk away.
By inviting different perspectives, being humble, and refusing to engage in confrontations, you can become a better employee. These principles of compassionate leadership enable you to rise above the pettiness that often plagues workplace relationships and hinders professional growth.
