Leading Thoughts

IDEAS shared have the power to expand perspectives, change thinking, and move lives. Here are two ideas for the curious mind to engage with:

I.

Retired Navy SEAL commander Rich Diviney on empathy:

“A lack of empathy in any leader obviously is a huge detriment huge detriment. But too much empathy can be just as damaging. It’s hard to be productive if you’re functioning at the whim of other people’s emotions. Empathy is an invaluable tool, so long as it is properly calibrated.”

II.

Nikos Mourkogiannis on purpose:

“Purpose is preparation for doing what is right and what is worthwhile. As such it creates a sense of obligation. But this obligation is not a weight or a drag in any way—it’s a way of knowing what you can and can’t do. Because Purpose provides certainty, it also provides confidence. All of that comes together to contribute to a firm’s competitive advantage. ‘Do the right thing and do well’—a new way of saying ‘Do well by doing good.’”
