15 Minute Mondays - The Empathy Double Standard: Why Leaders Bleed for Teams That Won’t Bleed Back

If You're a FAN leave me a message :-)

In this episode of 15 Minute Mondays, I expose the empathy double standard and show why reciprocity is the missing ingredient in healthy, high-performing organizations. If empathy only flows downward, it isn’t empathy, it’s exploitation.

✨ Key Takeaways

• Why one-sided empathy drains leaders and erodes trust.
• The 5-step framework to build reciprocal empathy in teams and organizations.
• How transparency about leadership burdens creates deeper understanding.
• Advanced strategies like Empathy Economics, Pre-Mortem Empathy, and neuroscience-backed trust building.
• Why true organizational strength comes when empathy flows both ways.
