A great article Ilham and right up my street! 😊

A good leader knows that their success is based on the success of the people in their team. They invest in their people. It's not about them. It's all about creating the right culture within an organisation. Leading with empathy and compassion!

Thank you, Peter, for your kind words! 😊

I couldn’t agree more. The best leaders know it’s about creating an environment where their team can thrive. When leaders lead with empathy and genuine care, they’re building a culture where people want to do their best work 🌱

Emotional intelligence is such a valuable quality! You didn't say the word empathy many times, but empathy seems to be the key!

Thank you, Beth! You’re right, empathy is a huge part of it. In fact, three of the five practices I shared are directly about empathy, just from different angles: feeling what others feel, understanding their perspective, and caring about their well-being. It’s such a powerful driver of trust and collaboration.

Great post Ilham, thank you. I have been in meetings like those many times and they are so demotivating and demoralising. Emotional intelligence ought to be an essential addition to any leadership training.💕

I couldn’t agree more, Sue! Adding emotional intelligence to leadership training would be such a gift to both managers and their teams. Everyone wins when trust and empathy are part of the culture.

Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏻🩷
