This is your The Women's Leadership Podcast podcast.

Welcome to The Women’s Leadership Podcast. Today, we’re diving straight into one of the most powerful—yet sometimes underestimated—tools in a woman leader’s arsenal: empathy. Not just the feel-good sentiment, but the kind of active, intentional empathy that forges true psychological safety in the workplace and transforms cultures from the inside out.

Let’s start with the why. Why does leading with empathy matter, especially for women? Research from the Center for Creative Leadership shows a direct link between empathetic leadership and improved job performance. When employees feel safe to be themselves, to express ideas and even their vulnerabilities, something incredible happens: creativity explodes, collaboration deepens, and innovation becomes the norm. Empathetic workplaces outperform, plain and simple.

Now, how do we get there? First, it’s about active listening. Not just waiting your turn to talk, but truly hearing the stories, the struggles, even the silences of those around you. Picture Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, who credits his success in part to listening with intent and responding with heart. For women leaders, embracing active listening isn’t just a skill—it’s often second nature. Harness it. Use it to create safe spaces where all voices matter.

Second, cultivate emotional intelligence. Savitha Raghunathan, a senior software engineer at Red Hat, puts it beautifully: being attuned to our own emotions and those of our teams enables us to lead with greater insight and compassion. When you show that emotional awareness, you open the door to authentic conversations, and trust follows. Teams that trust their leaders feel safe, and teams that feel safe are unstoppable.

Third, foster a culture of support—daily. That means acknowledging individual differences, being flexible with work arrangements, and establishing clear ways employees can speak up about concerns. I’ve seen women leaders transform teams by introducing employee resource groups and championing feedback from all levels. It’s about making room for every perspective at the table, especially the quietest ones.

Here’s where the rubber meets the road. Imagine a manager who, noticing a drop in an employee’s productivity, asks—not accuses. She learns an employee is grieving a personal loss and responds with compassion, adjusting deadlines and sharing some of the workload. This isn’t just kindness; it’s smart, strategic leadership.

So, as you lead your teams—whether as a manager, director, or CEO—ask yourself: Am I making empathy my leadership superpower? Am I creating an environment where people can take risks, share ideas, and grow, knowing they’ll be supported?

Ladies, leading with empathy isn’t just about being nice—it’s about building resilient teams, driving innovation, and shaping a workplace where everyone, regardless of who they are, feels safe to soar.
