Empathy Is Kind, Not Nice: A Leader’s Willingness To Do The Hard Things

Описание: Empathy doesn’t mean avoiding tough conversations. It means caring enough to have them. In this snippet from Episode 30 of “The Empathic Leader” podcast with Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller, we explore why true empathy isn’t about being “nice,” but about being kind and sometimes, kindness means delivering hard truths.

Dr. Melissa shares why leaders can’t shy away from difficult performance reviews or uncomfortable feedback, and how avoiding these moments can hold people back from growth. She breaks down the crucial difference between nice (a social comfort) and kind (a genuine desire for someone’s best outcome), and why real leadership often requires stepping into discomfort.

What do empathy and a treadmill have in common? Both need action to deliver results.

Quiet quitting. Resenteeism. Post-pandemic stress. AI. Modern leaders face challenges unimaginable in the past, and the pace of change is relentless.

Melissa Robinson-Winemiller is the answer. With over 20 years of leadership experience, two doctorates (including one focused on empathy in leadership), an MBA, and multiple certifications in change management and DEI, she helps leaders achieve greater profits, retention, productivity, and innovation.

Her mission? To elevate leadership through the often-overlooked power of EQ and empathy. As a coach and consultant, Melissa draws on expertise, data-driven insights, and proven results to guide leaders through today’s complexities.
