Leading with Compassion: A Biblical Perspective
This episode explores the often overlooked but essential quality of compassion in leadership. In a culture that prizes toughness over tenderness and views empathy as a weakness, the script examines how compassion, rooted in Biblical teachings, can transform leadership and organizational culture. It reflects on Colossians 3:12, highlighting compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience as deliberate choices rather than inherent traits. The practical application includes active listening, creating emotional and schedule margins, balancing truth and grace, and embedding compassion into organizational systems. The episode encourages leaders to practice active listening and adopt a compassionate approach, reflecting the heart of God in their leadership.
