Rita B. Allen

Dear Colleague,

Today, more than ever, leaders must exemplify compassionate leadership. We know what a difference it makes when people feel valued, heard, appreciated and acknowledged for their contributions. Taking time to express interest and concern indicates a level of care that is essential to build trust and credibility. All employees want and need to know their leader cares. Showing transparency, kindness and genuine vulnerability makes a leader relatable.

Is compassion a learned skill or is it innate? As learning leaders, it can be developed further on the continuum. To heighten our level of compassion, we must start with a foundation of openness, understanding, empathy and perceptiveness. One thing I always challenge myself to do is seek to understand and then to be understood. How do you challenge yourself?

I look forward to hearing from you!

My panel discussion series continue this year on a quarterly basis. Coming up in June, we will be discussing 'Driving and Leading Change'. Please see below for more details as well as to view recordings from previous sessions.

Best Regards,

Rita Balian Allen
