Welcome back to The Women’s Leadership Podcast, where we dive straight into the real conversations shaping our workplaces and careers. Today our focus is leading with empathy—and how women leaders can foster psychological safety, transforming the modern workplace into somewhere everyone truly thrives.
Empathy, research shows, is a superpower many women leaders possess, and it’s changing the very fabric of workplace culture. Take New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern. Her response to the Christchurch mosque attacks and the COVID-19 crisis became global case studies in compassionate leadership. Jacinda demonstrated that empathy isn’t just about being kind—it’s about genuinely understanding people’s fears, hopes, and needs, and responding with both heart and strategy.
But what does this look like in the day-to-day journey of leadership? It starts with the very concept of psychological safety. Alex Bishop, speaking at the recent Women in Leadership Dinner hosted by Page Executive, nailed it: psychological safety is about creating environments where everyone can be their true authentic selves. This isn’t just a warm, fuzzy ideal. It shows up when someone feels safe to share a dissenting opinion without fear of backlash, or when a team is rewarded for taking thoughtful risks—even if it means failing sometimes.
Empathetic women leaders drive this shift by championing open communication and welcoming feedback. Sheryl Sandberg, known for her empathetic approach at Facebook, did more than build successful teams—she started conversations about grief, bias, and resilience, making space for voices that often go unheard.
So, what are some practical ways to put these lessons to work? One is to actively seek out diverse perspectives. Make it a habit in meetings to invite input from quieter team members or those from underrepresented backgrounds. When leaders do this, employees feel valued and are more likely to contribute their unique talents and ideas.
Second, make room for honest mistakes. If someone on your team tries something new and it doesn’t work, use it as a learning opportunity rather than a reprimand. This not only boosts innovation, but also shows your team they are trusted and supported.
Women in leadership can also foster psychological safety by modeling emotional intelligence. Savitha Raghunathan at Red Hat emphasizes the role of staying tuned in to the emotions of your team. Knowing how to read the room—and respond with compassion—creates a workplace where trust and respect are the norm.
Cultivating psychological safety also means actively combating gender bias, microaggressions, and exclusionary behavior with clear policies and zero tolerance. In practice, that includes establishing confidential channels for reporting concerns, forming employee resource groups, and ensuring all voices are genuinely heard.
To all our listeners: leading with empathy is more than a trend. It’s a catalyst for transformation, driving well-being, collaboration, and lasting change in the workplace. When women lead with empathy, everyone wins.
