#020 Compassionate Leadership - a podcast by Ann Hiatt

This week, on the Bet On Yourself podcast we're talking about compassionate leadership.

The framework for this episode, has been inspired by an interview I heard with Amy Jen Su, the author of The Leader You Want To Be: Five Essential Principles for Bringing Out Your Best Self--Every Day. In this book, she outlines 5 key leadership principles that we’ll dive into in detail throughout this episode.

Amy distinguishes between two leadership options, leader A where we’re being our best selves and seeing challenges as opportunities, and leader B, where we’re less efficient, resistant to the moment and feel stressed, overwhelmed. To shift the balance and become like Leader A more often, we should be looking into adopting these 5 key leadership elements - the 5 P’s. How much time do you spend as Leader A vs Leader B?

I’ll highlight some examples of highly effective and successful leaders who also lead with extreme compassion, such as Brian Chesky and Niren Chaudhary. Who are your favorite leaders? What qualities do you look for in a leader?

Thanks for listening!
