Deliver Empathy or Lose Loyalty
Today’s episode focuses on what we should be doing now to engage and retain our greatest assets and build a stronger foundation for new era.
“We continue to live in extraordinary times and if we as leaders and leadership teams are not doing extraordinary things to connect with and support our people, we are going to have problems down the road.”
– Peter C. Atherton, P.E.
“Caring leads to trust and trust leads to a higher-level relationship… and this higher-level relationship can lead to both loyalty and engagement: the drivers of both near and long-term success.”
– Peter C. Atherton, P.E.
“In order to show you care, you need to first connect, but how we connect is important… and today, we need to connect with empathy.”
– Peter C. Atherton, P.E.
