Join us for a deep dive into dismantling the outdated “alpha” myth in leadership and embracing empathy as the true path to effective management. This webinar, hosted by Catherine R Bell with Startup Different co-author David Sinkinson, will explore insights from primatologist Frans de Waal, who argues that real alpha leaders are not those who dominate but those who foster collaboration, build coalitions, and lead with compassion. Discover how empathy in leadership not only boosts team morale but also leads to higher job satisfaction and reduced turnover. We’ll break down the myths perpetuated by traditional “alpha” models, often seen as harsh and unyielding, and contrast them with the behaviours of successful leaders who prioritize understanding and support within their teams. Learn why the modern workplace thrives under leaders who embody empathy and gain practical tools to apply these principles in your own leadership style. Join us for an engaging Q&A session on leadership, packed with actionable tips you can start applying immediately.
