Compassionate Leadership in Extraordinary Times
This course is designed for managers and leaders who have recognised that they need to adapt their approach to leading people and managing resources. Compassionate leadership is for those in positions of influence and authority seeking a more balanced and nuanced approach and who want to refine their leadership style to meet the challenges of the time.
Pressure can sometimes make it feel hard to strike the right balance between directive and compassionate leadership. Striving to get this right will help ensure navigation through the Covid-19 crisis with compassion, empathy and respect. All of which are critical for long-term recovery.
