Navigating the Recovery Paradox in Leadership

On this episode of Culture & Compliance Chronicles, Amanda Raad and Nitish Upadhyaya from Ropes & Gray’s Insights Lab, and Richard Bistrong of Front-Line Anti-Bribery, are joined by Dina Denham Smith, an accomplished leader, executive coach, and author, to discuss her new book, Emotionally Charged: How to Lead in the New World of Work. Dina shares insights on the heightened emotional demands on leaders, strategies for managing emotions in the workplace, and the importance of compassionate detachment. They also explore the concept of emotional contagion and how leaders can balance authenticity with the need to maintain team morale (or “with the need to preserve their own self-care”).
