Welcome to The Women’s Leadership Podcast. Today, we’re diving straight into one of the most vital topics in leadership: leading with empathy, and specifically, how women leaders can foster psychological safety in the workplace.
Let’s acknowledge front and center—empathy is not just a buzzword; it’s a transformative force. Research consistently shows that women in leadership excel at empathy, often going above and beyond in connecting with their teams on a human level. Jacinda Ardern, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, has repeatedly shown the power of empathy in leadership, guiding her country through major crises with openness, listening, and compassion. In the corporate world, Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook championed open conversations around grief and resilience, setting a new standard for what it means to be an empathetic leader and making space for vulnerability among her teams.
So, what exactly is psychological safety? According to the Center for Creative Leadership and numerous women leaders at the top of their fields, psychological safety is about creating an environment where team members are free to speak up, challenge ideas, and even make mistakes—without fear of humiliation or retribution. Alex Bishop, an executive leader, defines psychological safety as an environment where everyone can be their true authentic selves at work. This isn’t just good for morale; it’s critical for innovation, productivity, and inclusion.
Women leaders can champion psychological safety in practical ways. Embracing active listening—truly hearing concerns, not just acknowledging them—is essential. Savitha Raghunathan, a senior software engineer at Red Hat, points out that tuning in to others’ emotions lays the groundwork for trust and collaboration. Encouraging open communication, asking for feedback from all team members, and acting on that feedback shows everyone’s voice matters.
Empathy also drives inclusivity—by intentionally seeking diverse perspectives, women leaders make sure no one is left on the sidelines. Creating formal mechanisms, like employee resource groups or mentor programs, and implementing clear anti-bias policies, are actionable strategies that send a strong message about belonging. When a woman leader models sharing her own challenges, as Rocio Hermosillo describes during times of team growth, she invites her team to do the same—making it safer to address conflict, give feedback, and take creative risks.
However, the path isn’t always smooth. Many women in the workplace still feel the need to prove themselves or face microaggressions at higher rates, according to a KMPG study. Addressing these barriers requires ongoing education, open conversations, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Today’s discussion is about more than leadership methods—it’s about building workplaces where everyone can bring their whole selves to work and thrive. Women leaders, by modeling empathy and psychological safety, are at the forefront of a leadership revolution that benefits entire organizations and sets a new standard for organizational culture.
