Podcast Episode 32: How to be A More Empathetic Leader with Lorraine Lee

Welcome to Her Ambitious Career, the personal branding and success podcast for ambitious corporate women who expect more from their careers.

This is Episode 32, ‘How to be a More Empathetic Leader’, with my guest Lorraine Lee, who is a General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer as well as Co-Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Council at International SOS.

Lorraine says, “Empathetic leadership is largely about creating safety. For example, I need to feel safe enough to innovate and as a leader I need to create that same environment so that my team members feel safe enough to innovate too.”

In this episode, Lorraine shares:

• Her thoughts on what empathetic leadership is
• How to become a more empathetic leader, even if you currently struggle with it
• The importance of creating a safe environment for your team so that they feel free to make mistakes without rebuttal, to be honest, to innovate, to ask questions and to learn
