[CIE QUICK TIP] - The pain of being OVER-EMPATHETIC (and what to do about it)
G'day Reader,
How're things?
This is a Culture Is Everything Quick Tip that I wanted to send your way...
______
Most of the leaders and owners of service-based businesses that I work with are too empathetic.
Is that you?
If you're a caring leader that ends up rescuing your team and/or doing their work, well, there's a good chance your leadership style is too empathetic.
In my experience, the biggest fear of leaders who are too empathetic is that if they do anything different they will seem like a hard-ass and not be liked by their team.
Is that you too?
There is another way.
It's choosing to blend empathy AND accountability.
For more detail on how I teach service-based business owners to be more assertive leaders, please check out this podcast episode from earlier in 2022:
