November Hot Take: Why History Needs Us to Be Empathetic Leaders Now More Than Ever
Manage episode 449757511 series 2868844
Today, I want to talk about something that’s been heavy on my heart: the importance of holding onto Real History as it’s unfolding, not just to understand today but to avoid repeating mistakes tomorrow.
Lately, I have felt anxious about the world we’re building and the future we’re leaving for our kids. When I look at what’s happening, I can’t help but think about the role models I want my son to emulate. It’s not just about those leaders at the highest levels. We can be leaders even if we don't have the title. It’s about us, each of us, stepping up, being those role models, and showing that we can lead with both empathy and strength.
Let’s keep leading with empathy.

Key Takeaways:
- The best leaders have the humility to recognize their flaws and understand that the best, most effective decisions come from inviting expert voices that aren’t their own so they can get a clearer picture of both risks and opportunities.
- Use the upcoming leadership of the US to teach your children what kind of leader not to be.
- Kindness, inclusion, and integrity are qualities worth pursuing—not just in others, but in ourselves.
"We can be leaders if we don't have the title but some people, even if promoted to the title, even if elected to the title, will never be true leaders.." — Maria Ross
