Compassionate Leadership Is Necessary — but Not Sufficient
by Rasmus Hougaard, Jacqueline Carter, and Nick Hobson
December 04, 2020, HBR
For effective leadership, compassion must be combined with wisdom.
By wisdom, we mean leadership competence, a deep understanding of what motivates people and how to manage them to deliver on agreed priorities.
Leaders operating have to balance concern for their people with the need to move their organizations forward in an efficient, productive manner.

How to Be a Leader Everyone Loves to Work With
https://www.lollydaskal.com/leadership/how-to-be-a-leader-everyone-loves-to-work-with/
Care about the people along with the process and results.
Listen instead of thinking I know it all.
Empower and make others feel good about themselves and their contribution to group activity.
Create small wins - Appreciate and Celebrate.
Display high EQ instead of only high IQ.
Buddhist tradition describes three styles of compassionate leadership
Buddhist tradition describes three styles of compassionate leadership: the trailblazer, who leads from the front, takes risks, and sets an example; the ferryman, who accompanies those in his care and shapes the ups and downs of the crossing; and the shepherd, who sees every one of his flock into safety before himself. Three styles, three approaches, but what they have in common is an all-encompassing concern for the welfare of those they lead. - Dalai Lama., 2019, HBR article
Making others better as a result of your presence, your communication, your direction, decision and action are at the heart of leadership.
Leadership is not wielding authority; it's empowering others.
It is the ability to transfer power. It is the ability to make others powerful.

What Great Managers Do Daily

Decoding Leadership: What really matters
Our most recent research, however, suggests that a small subset of leadership skills closely correlates with leadership success, particularly among frontline leaders. Using our own practical experience and searching the relevant academic literature, we came up with a comprehensive list of 20 distinct leadership traits. We did a survey and found that leaders in organizations with high-quality leadership teams typically displayed 4 of the 20 possible types of behavior; these 4, indeed, explained 89 percent of the variance between strong and weak organizations in terms of leadership effectiveness .
• Solving problems effectively: The process that precedes decision making is problem solving, when information is gathered, analyzed, and considered.
• Operating with a strong results orientation: Leadership is about not only developing and communicating a vision and setting objectives but also following through to achieve results. Leaders with a strong results orientation tend to emphasize the importance of efficiency and productivity and to prioritize the highest-value work.
• Seeking different perspectives: This trait is conspicuous in managers who monitor trends affecting organizations, grasp changes in the environment, encourage employees to contribute ideas that could improve performance, accurately differentiate between important and unimportant issues, and give the appropriate weight to stakeholder concerns. Leaders who do well on this dimension typically base their decisions on sound analysis and avoid the many biases to which decisions are prone.

The Art of Giving and Receiving Advice.
Periodical
By: Garvin, David A.; Margolis, Joshua D. Harvard Business Review. Jan/Feb2015, Vol. 93 Issue 1/2, p60-71.
Seeking and giving advice are central to effective leadership and decision making, and they require emotional intelligence, self-awareness, restraint, diplomacy, and patience on both sides. In this article, the authors argue that they are practical skills one can learn and apply to great effect. The most common obstacles to effectively seeking and giving advice are thinking one already has the answers, defining the problem poorly, and overstepping boundaries. They offer practical guidelines for getting past them.
Five stages of advising are identified: (1) finding the right fit; (2) developing a shared understanding; (3) crafting alternatives; (4) converging on a decision; and (5) putting advice into action. Each stage includes suggestions for seekers and for advisers.
The Authenticity Paradox.
By: Ibarra, Herminia. Harvard Business Review. Jan/Feb2015, Vol. 93 Issue 1/2, p52-59.INSEAD professor Herminia Ibarra argues, a simplistic understanding of what authenticity means can limit leaders' growth and impact. In this article, Ibarra explains how leaders can develop an "adaptively authentic" style. It's OK to change tactics from one day to the next, she says by figuring out what's right for the challenges and circumstances we face.

DeleteSuccessful leaders don’t just dive into planning aims – they take some time to reflect on their progress to understand their baseline and act upon it. Best business leaders carry such traits.
