love (noun)
: affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests. Merriam-Webster
It’s time to lead with love! Becoming a more compassionate leader gives you and your organization an advantage, especially as we all face these uncertain times. And love fuels compassion, so leading with love and leading with compassion are intertwined.
As we face gun violence, racial and economic inequities, climate change, the devastation created by a pandemic, and other challenges, we need to embrace the practice of leading with love. NOW.
Over the last twenty years, studying compassion and its impact on individuals and cultures has emerged from universities. Not surprisingly, compassion has been proven to fuel positive change in organizations and beyond. The scholars have caught up with the sages who have touted the benefits of love and compassion for thousands of years.
As a leader, you may wonder how to lead with love in a way that positively impacts you, your stakeholders, and your organization. The process will involve a self-examination, learning new approaches, and practicing leadership as a whole and embodied experience. Here are four suggestions to help you:
1. Start with self-compassion - Developing self-care practices and patience with yourself is the best place to begin. For example, as this work- week comes to a close focus on the progress you made, rather than your mistakes.
2. Model vulnerability - It’s impossible to build a loving and compassionate organization if people hide their emotions, mistakes, and need for support. As a leader, show people that it is ok to be a real, imperfect, and whole..
3. Practice being compassionate with others on and off the job - For a organizational change context, I define compassion as the embodied act of preventing or alleviating suffering for all stakeholders. To begin, ask yourself, how can use more compassion and I lead with love in this situation? Developing compassion can be done at home, in your community, and at work. And remember to practice self-compassion as you develop your capacity.
4. Read about leading with compassion and love - Here is a Lead with Love Book Club list I compiled from compassionate scholars, thinkers, and practitioners, linked to Amazon:
