How do leaders bring back pragmatism without losing compassion?The events of 2020/21 triggered a mass rising of compassionate leadership around the globe.  Not everywhere.  But enough to be remarkable. Our people were suffering.  We had to step up and support them.  They needed this, our businesses required it.Now ... many organisations are facing the requirement for a return to pragmatism.  Kindness on its own is not enough for ongoing organisational flourishing and profitability.How do we re-incorporate pragmatic leadership, yet without losing the crucial compassionate aspect we've emphasised so strongly over the last couple of years?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GET THE EBOOK  yesyounow.today/chairmanAutonomy in Relationship - the Human Side of Being a Non-Exec Chairman.ASK ME ANYTHING  yesyounow.today/podcastSend in requests for future episodes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WATCH THE VIDEO yesyounow.today/selfmasteryHow and Why to Elevate your Life.GET TO KNOW youtube.comTake in Catherine's first-hand responses to the challenges and opportunities leaders are facing today.CHECK OUT YESYOUNOW with Catherine Llewellyn yesyounow.todayFind out more about Yes You Now Advanced Strategic Self-Mastery for Entrepreneurs and Business Owners.BOOK A CALL go.oncehub.com/booka15minutecallIf you would like a chat with Catherine, you can schedule a 15-minute call.Support the show=== 🤝 Join our Being Space Community ✦ Podcast: https://truthandtranscendence.com ✦ Website: https://beingspace.world ✦ YouTube: / https://youtube.com/@BEINGSPACEcatherinellewellyn ✦ Insta: / https://instagram.com/beingspace.world/ ✦ Facebook: / https://facebook.com/BeingSpaceWorld ✦ TikTok: / https://tiktok.com/@beingspace.world ______ Donate: https://truthandtranscendence.com/donate Podcast network: https://joinpodmatch.com/catherinellewellyn Podcast website: https://podpage.com/?via=truthandtranscendence Podcast coach: https://bestpodcastcoach.org/TruthandTranscendence/ref/2/ Brain fitness: https://braingym.fitness/ref/3/ VA: https://va.world/contact/ref/1/...
