Leaders must learn how to close this gap, as research shows that empathy cultivates a more engaged, innovative and collaborative workforce.  Author John Southard has created an empathetic leadership framework that teams can use to maximize their performance and leadership abilities. In this keynote, John blends his business leadership experience with his military history PhD to share how lessons from a small group of U.S. Marines in Vietnam can help us build a more empathetic workplace.

They just need to know how to be more empathetic.
