Episode 43: Ruthless Compassion as a Kindness Leader featuring Dr. Marcia Sirota

There are many leadership principles for emerging leaders to choose from as they embark on their leadership journey. And while each of the principles has their own unique take on how to lead, there are many overlays. Such as: Be honest, be fair, be transparent, be kind.

Emerging leaders often feel overwhelmed in their new role, trying to balance the team goals, their own personal goals, the team dynamic, etc. In the midst of this balancing act, there is often team conflict, and most often, the emerging leader will be overly kind, trying to ‘kill’ the conflict with kindness.

The thing is, this tactic rarely works, and so, in this episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Marcia Sirota, a board-certified psychiatrist, author and professional speaker who will talk about Ruthless Compassion as a Kindness Leader. We’ll hear how emerging leaders can create a space where compassion and kindness are principal team attributes of cohesive and effective team.
