Today host John Laurito talks about compassionate leadership and how it changes leadership dynamics in an organization with Author, Chairman, and Founder of The Tramuto Foundation and Founder of Health eVillages, Donato Tramuto. Compassionate leadership means building relationships through careful listening to, understanding, empathizing with, and supporting other people, enabling people to feel valued and respected. If applied by leaders in the workplace, all this can increase productivity and performance to their highest potential for the employees.Donato Tramuto has nearly four decades of business leadership experience and is most notable for his ability to balance transactional and transformational leadership within organizations. He has launched two successful start-ups, successfully led the turnaround of a Public Healthcare Company, and has executed innovative programs leading to sustainable business results through his Compassionate Leadership approach.He is well-known for his success in discovering his “why” and building transformative business and innovation in healthcare. As profiled in his first book released in 2016, "Life's Bulldozer Moments: How Adversity Can Lead To Success in Life and Business," what drives him cannot often be put into words.He is known for his deep commitment to creating better, more compassionate leaders. In a world where we are constantly connected, intersected, and divided simultaneously, Donato offers an innovation in professionality: being open about adversity, advertising your growth, and passing on your knowledge to all those who listen.In February 2020, and after a year of preparation, Donato stepped away from running a Public Company to focus on inspiring the next generation of leaders through his nonprofit ventures and his upcoming book on Compassionate Leadership to be released in March 2022 - The Double Bottom Line. He is inspired by Robert F. Kennedy and is a recipient of the prestigious RFK Ripple of Hope and the RFK Embracing His Legacy Award for his endless dedication to improving the lives of others.Connect with Donato at:Website: https://tramutofoundation.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donato-tramuto/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DonatoTramutoGrab a copy of his book: https://www.amazon.com/Double-Bottom-Line-Compassionate-Captivate/dp/163908004XShow notes:[1:54] What is compassionate leadership?[2:41] The trend in leadership[7:13] A message to leaders that don’t practice compassionate leadership[10:07] What does compassionate leadership look like for a large business leader?[13:15] Listening to understand; not listening to respond[15:46] The Double Bottom Line[18:13] OutroGet a copy of Tomorrow's Leader on Amazon https://tinyurl.com/huseae9hText LEADER to 617-393-5383 to receive The Top 10 Things That The Best Leaders Are Doing Right NowFor questions, suggestions, or speaker inquiries, contact me at john@lauritogroup.com
