Welcome to The Women's Leadership Podcast. Today, we're diving straight into one of the most powerful drivers of modern leadership: leading with empathy and how women leaders can foster psychological safety in the workplace.
Empathy isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a transformative tool that women leaders are using to reshape workplace culture from the inside out. According to CultureProof, research consistently shows that women often bring higher levels of empathy into their leadership styles, and this has real impact. Empathetic leadership has been linked to creating more inclusive environments, driving collaboration, and, critically, promoting employee well-being. Think about Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand, whose compassionate response during national crises unified a country and set a benchmark for empathetic leadership at the highest level. Or Sheryl Sandberg at Facebook, who not only championed women’s advancement but created space for honest conversations about grief, resilience, and support within the tech industry.
But let’s bring it even closer to home. What does fostering empathy and psychological safety truly look like on your team, in your organization? Page Executive’s Women in Leadership event spotlighted this topic, emphasizing that psychological safety is the foundation for gender equality and high-performing teams. When women feel they can speak up without fear of backlash—or bring their full, authentic selves to work—they’re more likely to contribute innovative ideas, take risks, and advance within the organization. This is particularly important for women from underrepresented groups who may face additional barriers such as microaggressions or bias. In fact, a KPMG study found nearly 68% of women feel the need to prove themselves more than their male counterparts, and over half have experienced microaggressions at work.
So, how can women leaders actively create these safe, empathetic spaces? Savitha Raghunathan from Red Hat underscores the importance of emotional intelligence. Being attuned to your own emotions and those of your team helps build trust and connection. Other proven strategies include practicing active listening—truly hearing colleagues’ stories and perspectives; leading by example, especially when it comes to handling failure with grace and learning rather than blame; and maintaining open, transparent communication at every level.
Recognizing and celebrating diversity, as WomenTech points out, is another cornerstone. When leaders openly value the unique backgrounds and skills of each team member, it not only increases engagement but sparks the kind of creativity and problem-solving that drives organizations forward.
And, as highlighted by the Council for Relationships, creating a respectful and understanding culture is essential not only for individual well-being but for collective success. Addressing issues head-on, encouraging open dialogue, and providing constructive feedback without judgment all serve to reinforce psychological safety.
If you’re a woman in a leadership role—or aspiring to be—these approaches are your toolkit for lasting change. Lead with empathy, nurture psychological safety, and watch as your team, your culture, and your own career flourish.
