Episode 62: Why compassionate leadership is needed for the public sector during the pandemic

The COVID-19 outbreak has put a strain on those working in the third and public sector and they struggle to keep aid programs afloat while their lives remain suspended. Yet at the same time, aid workers, humanitarians, charity workers and development professionals are expected work overtime and go above and beyond under straining conditions of lockdown and COVID-19. For this, leadership needs to step up and be more compassionate. On this episode, we speak to Lemonada Media CEO Jessica Cordova Kramer, Sustainability expert Richard Smith and TEDx Speaker Amel Murphy on the importance of compassionate leadership in the public sector.
