Welcome to The Women’s Leadership Podcast, where we dive deep into what it means to lead with empathy and foster real psychological safety—qualities that are quickly becoming cornerstones of high-performing, inclusive teams. Today, let’s get right to the heart of how women leaders can foster environments where every voice is valued and every person feels safe to bring their true selves to work.
Empathy isn’t just a buzzword. Studies from the Center for Creative Leadership highlight that empathy is directly tied to job performance and innovation. When you truly connect with your team on an emotional level, validating their feelings and recognizing their challenges, you set the stage for trust and psychological safety. New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern embodies this practice. Her compassionate crisis response—from the Christchurch mosque attacks to the COVID-19 pandemic—showed the world how empathy can unify and support both teams and a nation itself.
But why does psychological safety matter so much for women in leadership? According to leaders like Savitha Raghunathan, Senior Software Engineer at Red Hat, being attuned to your own and your team’s emotions lays the groundwork for trust and mutual respect. Psychological safety is the belief that you won’t be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes. Alex Bishop, speaking at the recent Women in Leadership Dinner hosted by Page Executive, emphasized that “creating an environment where everyone can be their true authentic selves in the workplace” is vital—diversity has little impact without that sense of safety.
Let’s be clear about the barriers: For many women, self-doubt and the need to prove themselves magnify the risk of speaking out. More than half of women surveyed by KPMG reported experiencing microaggressions at work and feeling pressured to exceed their male counterparts just to be seen. Women of color, those with disabilities, and members of other underrepresented groups face even greater levels of scrutiny and isolation. That’s why leading with empathy isn’t optional; it’s a necessity.
So what can women leaders do, tactically, to make teams safer and more empowered? Start by embracing active listening and emotional intelligence—skills that lead to stronger connections and better communication. Take a page from leaders like Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s former COO, who not only championed openness about grief and resilience but actively created initiatives to support women throughout the organization. Encourage open dialogue, celebrate diverse perspectives, and make it your mission to honor honesty and direct feedback.
Women leaders have the power to normalize learning from failure rather than punishing it. Create norms that encourage experimentation. Tell your own stories about mistakes and what you learned—they’ll inspire your teams to take healthy risks, sparking greater innovation and deeper engagement.
Foster a supportive environment by being present and seeking input from everyone. Implement mentorship and sponsorship opportunities, especially for women from underrepresented groups. And most importantly, lead by example: honor your values out loud and hold space for vulnerability across your team.
As you think about your leadership journey, remember that an empathetic approach isn’t just about kindness—it’s the engine that drives team engagement, productivity, and a more human-centered workplace for all.
