In today’s episode of The Leadership Telos, we explore the virtue of Humanity, a leadership practice rooted in compassion, connection, and elevating the collective good.
Modern research shows a powerful trend: employees, customers, and investors are increasingly choosing organizations that operate with integrity and care for people, communities, and the planet. Humane leadership isn’t soft—it’s strategic, sustainable, and transformative.

🔹 The interpersonal strengths that define humane leaders, such as compassion, kindness, empathy, generosity, and care
🔹 How Ephesians 4 reframes humanity as a unified body, where every member is valued
🔹 What Aristotle teaches us about human flourishing
🔹 Practical, real-world ways to lead with humanity today
