John McMahon with his book The Power of Leading with Empathy, now available on Amazon

The shift away from an office-based 9 to 5 working world has been happening for years, but the Covid-19 pandemic rapidly accelerated the move to a new daily work routine. For leaders and their teams, this presented new opportunities as well as challenges. However, in the new, less rigid work environments that have emerged, one skill is more important than all others: Empathy.

John McMahon is the author of ‘The Power of Leading with Empathy’ which explores why ‘empathy’, an often undervalued leadership trait, is so essential in the non 9 to 5 world and how leaders on all levels can develop their empathy skills. 

In his new book you’ll discover:

  • How the role of a leader has changed and what you can do to adapt
  • Why you need to focus on the ‘I’ in teams (you) and encourage your team to do the same
  • How to define your work culture, values and purpose
  • Tips for open and empathetic communication in the non 9 to 5 office
  • How to encourage empathy within your team

 

The book created to help you navigate the challenges of leading in a non 9 to 5 world.

Is available now on Amazon!

    This book was highly recommended to me by a friend and I couldn’t have been more pleased. John has beautifully captured the essence of leadership in the post-covid era with a number of anecdotes that are highly relatable and provide a timely reminder of how leaders have to change with the changing landscape and the importance and role of empathy. A must-read for seasoned or new leaders.

    Having led teams pre-pandemic, during and post- this read provides a new take on fundamental leadership lessons which shouldn’t be undervalued or overlooked in a modern age (albeit with a refreshed lens), alongside new learnings which are and will be integral to the future of team management. The approach leaves you feeling energised, empowered and fully equipped to achieve an enhanced level of performance/output alongside nurturing an unmatchable team culture. Highly recommend.

    Having managed a team both pre and post pandemic, the dynamics have certainly changed somewhat. The material that’s currently out there now feels dated and doesn’t take into consideration how the workforce has now adapted and how leaders need to adapt too.

    John’s refreshingly honest account is both current and actionable, which is what many promise, but few deliver.

    A thoroughly enjoyable read and would certainly recommend.

    Having experienced the same challenges as everyone else during the pandemic this book is an excellent commentary on how we can adapt our leadership style to work in this new world, born out of the pandemic. It’s made me take stock and understand how to get the best out of my team by simply being human. John’s approachable manner means it feels like you’re talking to a friend offering advice, which makes it both enjoyable and immediately relatable. An excellent read.
