Empathy and strategy can be a powerful combination in leadership and in planning for a new year to work together to create an environment that is both people-focused and goal-oriented. Empathy allows leaders to understand the perspectives, challenges, and motivations of their team members, fostering trust and open communication. This is more important than ever with a workforce that has been given freedom to work remotely with a great deal of trust. When paired with strategic thinking and planning, this understanding enables leaders to design plans that not only achieve organizational goals but also align with the needs and well-being of their team.
