About this course:

Our tradition of mathematics science and capitalism places more and more emphasis on those things which can be measured and given specific economic value. Have we gone too far in thinking that anything that cannot be priced is without worth? As leaders there are some things that are not easy to measure. That does not make them less real, nor does it make them less valuable. Enter compassion. You lead a team of human beings. Every day you all have deadlines to meet. Everyday something or even everything is changing. While the results of compassionate leadership can be quantifiable, that is not how we will spend our time. Trust that compassion has its own return on investment (ROI,) and come ready to put compassionate leadership into practice.
