Empathy for Your Leader: Seeing What You Can’t See

It’s easy to forget that your leader is human too. You see their title, their calendar, their authority, but you don’t see the weight they carry behind closed doors. The late-night calls, the quiet negotiations, the times they protect their team from things you never hear about.In this episode, I talk about what it really means to have empathy for your leader. I share a personal story about George Hunter, a director who changed how I see leadership and why his influence still shapes how I lead today.If you’ve ever had a leader who looked out for you when they didn’t have to, this one will hit home.Listen in, and when it’s over, take a minute to reach out to that person who believed in you. Tell them what they meant to your journey.
