Leading with Empathy and the Power of Regret with Daniel Pink

Our regrets influence the way we engage and interact with the world. Having the ability to reflect and learn from these moments gives us the perspective to better lead while understanding the context, experiences and feelings of others. How can leaders reflect on these defining experiences and moments of regret to make them more empathetic leaders? How can empathy help leaders become more effective?

In this episode, host Gautam Mukunda speaks with Daniel Pink, author of five New York Times bestsellers, including The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward, about how leading with trust and empathy can transform workplaces and change how we see the world.

“In the architecture of regret, people tend to regret inactions more than actions.” — Daniel Pink

“You don’t want to be the leader you had. You want to be the leader you should have had.” — Daniel Pink
