Price on request

Presentation description 

This conference provides essential insight into compassionate leadership, emphasizing that it is a lever for sustainable performance without turning managers into therapists.

In a context marked by increasing work intensity, labor shortages, and remote management, leaders are required to balance performance expectations with compassion.

Based on 100 references from both grey and scientific literature, as well as recognized field practices, the conference demystifies common myths surrounding compassion and highlights its direct link to performance. Participants will learn to recognize signs of psychological distress, adopt an appropriate leadership stance, and intervene effectively while respecting their role and boundaries. The conference offers practical guidelines for fostering psychological safety, supporting teams, and protecting the mental health of managers themselves.
