Leadership Lessons: Empathy
Empathy is a key ingredient in long-term successful leadership.
Recently, as a family, we had the opportunity to volunteer for an organization that provides food for hungry families around the world.
My little girl worked two hours straight, with a smile on her face the entire time. When she understood the gravity of what these efforts were going towards & watching her parents give it their all, it seemed to give her a strength that even I wasn’t aware she had.
What she doesn’t know yet, is that her dad needed organizations like this growing up. That basic necessities aren’t always so readily available. She won’t personally be exposed to that life, but I’m certain that the empathy & desire to give back any way she can, will suit her well in any profession.
