このコンテンツについて
Welcome back to The Women’s Leadership Podcast. Today, we’re diving right into a key asset that’s transforming workplace culture worldwide: leading with empathy, and how as women leaders, we can foster true psychological safety for everyone on our teams.
Let’s be honest—empathy has often been called a soft skill, but in reality, it’s a serious driver of success. Research shows that women leaders frequently display higher levels of empathy than their male counterparts, and this is not just a feel-good trait. It enables us to navigate complex interpersonal dynamics, build stronger, more collaborative teams, and create workplaces where everyone feels respected and valued. In fact, Jacinda Ardern’s response to crises in New Zealand and Sheryl Sandberg’s candid leadership at Meta have both underscored how empathy is a game changer in building trust and unity during challenging times.
But what does leading with empathy really look like day-to-day? It starts with active listening. When you genuinely hear your team’s concerns—without interruption or judgment—you show that every voice matters. This invites people to share new ideas and raise issues early before they escalate. Savitha Raghunathan, a senior leader at Red Hat, often highlights how being emotionally attuned fosters a responsive, supportive environment and a culture of mutual respect. It is this emotional intelligence, the ability to understand and manage your own emotions and those of others, that distinguishes empathetic leadership.
Another cornerstone is fostering open communication and modeling vulnerability. Psychological safety means your team trusts that they can speak up, take risks, and admit mistakes without fear of reprisal or ridicule. According to workplace research, when psychological safety is missing, women—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—might stay silent, miss opportunities, or experience burnout. On the flipside, safe environments empower all voices, drive innovation, and build happier teams.
Women leaders can be role models here by openly sharing lessons from their own setbacks and showing how risk and failure are simply opportunities for growth, not grounds for punishment. Encourage your team to experiment and support them when things don’t go as planned. Establishing this norm not only boosts resilience but also sparks creativity.
Another discussion point is inclusivity. Empathetic leadership isn’t just about kindness; it’s about actively seeking out and valuing diverse perspectives. Recognize and celebrate your team’s differences—this helps everyone feel safe to show up as their authentic selves, which, as Alex Bishop pointed out at the Page Executive Women in Leadership event, is absolutely vital for high performance. Psychological safety can only flourish when inclusivity is lived, not just declared.
To sum up, leading with empathy is a daily commitment. Actively listen, celebrate vulnerability, model inclusivity, and support your team through risk-taking and failure. These are strategies that not only nurture psychological safety but also set the stage for meaningful, lasting change in our workplaces.
