The Leadership Crisis: Can Empathy Save the World of Work?
Welcome back to Transforming Relationships with Emotional Intelligence. I’m your host, Coach Owenico.
In today’s episode, we’re confronting a global leadership challenge—one not caused by a lack of competence, but a shortage of empathy. As the modern workplace evolves, so must our definition of leadership. The question we’re asking is simple yet profound:
Can empathy save the world of work?
This conversation explores why empathy is no longer optional—it’s essential for fostering trust, well-being, retention, and sustainable performance in any organisation.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- What empathy truly means—and why it’s foundational to emotionally intelligent leadership
- The three types of empathy every leader must understand:
→ Cognitive empathy – Understanding others’ thoughts
→ Emotional empathy – Feeling others’ emotions
→ Empathic concern – Caring enough to respond meaningfully - The alarming data behind burnout, disengagement, and rising turnover in 2025
- Why leadership without empathy leads to transactional cultures, quiet quitting, and boreout
- What empathetic leadership looks like in action—listening deeply, creating psychological safety, and prioritising people
- Simple, practical ways to begin building empathy as a leadership skill today
Drawing from research, real-world trends, and emotional intelligence frameworks, this episode offers a roadmap for creating workplaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued.
Tune in now to discover how a more human approach to leadership can transform your team, your culture, and your impact.
