Reflecting on the Impact of Empathy and Trust in Leadership
Leadership is not just about dictating or shouting but also about showing empathy, trust, and loyalty towards team members. Empathy helps in understanding and supporting individuals through difficult situations, while trust involves being reliable and having their back. Leaders should remember that they are asking people to do challenging tasks and hence need to exhibit these softer skills to get the best out of their team. Trust is demonstrated by being dependable and standing by team members in tough situations, even outside of combat scenarios. Empathy is shown through recognizing the challenges faced by the team and standing together in difficult circumstances, fostering a sense of unity and shared responsibility.
