What We Do
Great companies are made by great leaders and the people in them. So what constitutes a great leader?
Here at The Bug in Your Ear, we like to talk about Empathetic Leaders - the type of leadership you see in companies like Apple, Google, and 3M. Where leaders make decisions based on the feelings, motives and situation of their team, their business, and the world around them. They create thriving environments where innovation and creativity is encouraged. Where the bottom line has just as much to do with profit, as with social impact.
The Bug in Your Ear coaches you towards Empathetic Leadership.
Empathetic Leaders:
- Understand derived success – being successful by facilitating the success of others and giving others credit when it’s due
- Create transparency with their actions and statements
- Remain highly flexible and receptive to learning
- Can communicate compassionately and clearly
- Use their intuitive and emotional systems along with reasoning to make sound decisions and judgments
- Inspire others by having a clear vision, strong values, and commitment to the organization’s goals
- Facilitate environments that stimulate creative thinking and innovation
- Believe in the power of engaged collaborators
- Are authentic and humane to others in all levels within an organization
- Listen deeply and consider the opinions of others
- Strive for personal fulfillment and balance in their own lives and encourage that for others
- Understand the bigger social impact of the decisions they make
Whether you are a top executive of a multi-national company, or a manager of a small team, we are here to help you cultivate Empathetic Leadership. Our expert coaches and consultants are ready to take you there.
