How can I be a more compassionate leader?

Give direct but respectful feedbackMaiedha Raza, GP and mental health clinician, says, "Compassionate leadership allows us to recognise one another's humanity and choose to respond with presence rather than judgment.Throughout my own leadership journey I've learnt from some outstanding leaders and a few principles stand out."Firstly, actively listen with curiosity.When a colleague is frustrated, overwhelmed, or burnt out, approach them the way you would a complex patient.Be attentive, non-judgmental, and genuinely interested in understanding their perspective.Most people just want to be heard, validated, and shown some empathy.
