Lead by compassion

Compassion has always been important. But the kind of compassion we need now is very different from the compassion of yesterday.

The swirl of events in our communities and around the world, the pulling tide of our moral conscience and the expectations of new generations of stakeholders make it different.

Caring and kindness have become the new game changer for our best corporations and public institutions. They are becoming the standard by which organizations are judged by employees, consumers, investors and society. This does not happen by accident or good intentions alone. It requires shifting into a whole new paradigm for how compassion is designed, structured and dispensed and fusing it into the fabric of an organization’s culture. It requires leadership.

We’re reinventing the ability of organizations to deliver compassion to those who need it, while reinforcing today’s essential organizational pillars of trust, authenticity and stakeholder loyalty. We call this generative compassion. It’s the evolution of what we’ve been doing for two decades to help the most vulnerable and extend the healing hand of compassion. It is what the world today is calling for in the most clear and compelling voice.

Wise leaders not only embrace this winning paradigm, they are becoming champions of it. They lead by compassion and speak its language. We help it to become their signature narrative in a way that enhances the authenticity of their voice and adds resonance to their messaging in the workplace, in the marketplace and in the world of thought leadership.

Explore more on our site about how we’re working to make generative compassion the new normal in our workplaces, our organizations and our communities, and an indispensable touchstone of trust for their leaders.
