Episode 6 examines leaders providing empathy to employees for doing the work to know themselves better. Employees work daily to navigate life while still trying to perform as employees, sons, daughters, football players, or students. In the midst of them trying to Know Thyself, leaders must provide empathy and compassion to help mitigate any further uneasiness. When leaders show compassion, followers gain trust and induce loyalty. So, similar to the people of ancient Greece visiting the temple of Apollo, someone you are leading is scheduling counseling sessions with therapists and other outlets to Know Themselves better. They are making a conscious effort to improve as a person. All they need now is empathy from their leader from time to time.
