This week’s #CuratedAsset is an article on how self-compassion can make you a better leader. Self-compassion is defined as giving the same compassion towards yourself as you would to others and is beneficial in increasing leadership skills such as emotional intelligence, resilience and integrity, as well as making you more compassionate towards others. Research has shown that self-compassion allows for a bigger growth mindset and helps to reach their goals through planning and supporting negative setbacks rather than being unduly hard on themselves. Self-compassion also links strongly to leaders acting more responsibly and building more trust within the workplace, ultimately leading to higher engagement and performance. The article also shares some helpful strategies on how to build up self-compassion, which many of us may find beneficial to both our working and home lives. Do have a read of this interesting article and leave us some of your thoughts on the strategies you may already use or start to use after reading!
