The #1 question I hear most these days from Founders is a little strange: 

‘Won't empathy make me lose control?’

And here’s what 20+ years of leadership research shows:

Empathetic leaders don’t lose control.
In fact, they gain clarity.

Because they:

→ Lead with presence, not fear
→ Understand what’s actually driving underperformance
→ Create teams that self-regulate through psychological safety

The real reason people question empathy in leadership? 

FEAR. 

Because there's a massive perception gap.

Research shows:

→ 86% of employees believe empathetic leadership boosts morale
→ 87% say it's essential for creating psychological safety
→ Yet 68% of CEOs still fear it will undermine their authority

That's not a leadership problem. 
That's a narrative problem.

Here's what the data actually shows about empathy and team dynamics:

→ Their teams show 25% more engagement
→ They maintain higher standards (not lower)
→ Retention costs drop because trust replaces fear
→ They resolve issues faster by addressing root causes

The ‘loss of control fear is rooted in a misunderstanding of what empathy does.

Empathy doesn't eliminate accountability, rather it channels it. 

It transforms ‘You failed’ into ‘What happened?’
And that's where real leadership begins.

The question isn't whether empathy costs you control. 
It's whether you want compliance or commitment.

Most high-performing teams choose commitment.

What’s your biggest hesitation around leading with empathy, and is it still valid?

She was leading million-dollar projects, and yet couldn’t lead the room.

And it cost her 

Every year, her promotion got passed over.
Every year, she got the same feedback: ‘You're doing great.’
That’s it!

On our first call, I asked her to walk me through a recent leadership meeting.

10 minutes in, I stopped her.

You’re doing all the work, I said. 
But you’re not claiming any of it.

That’s when she realised:


→ She over-explained instead of driving direction
→ She played the expert, not the executive
→ She filled silence instead of using it

In her mind, being liked meant being promotable.

But the company read as caution.

She didn't know the answer,
Because no one had ever asked the right question. 

No one had ever told her:

→ People promote clarity, not effort
→ Leadership is as much about what you communicate as what you deliver
→ Influence doesn’t come from talking more but from knowing when to speak, and how

We worked together for 6 months.

On communication that commands trust.

→ Tone
→ Authority
→ Strategic silence
→ Feedback that lands

By month 2, she was showing up differently.

By month 6, she wasn’t waiting to be seen.

And by the end of the year?

She messaged me: "I finally got the promotion."

The takeaway?

Most people don’t need more skills; they just need to be seen differently.

That starts with how they speak.

If you’re a high performer stuck at the same level, it might not be your output.

It might be the signal you’re sending.

Let’s fix that!

If you could master just one skill before Dec 31, what would it be?


Here’s mine: Listening without interrupting.

Trust me, it’s harder than it sounds.

And more powerful than most leadership frameworks.

Why?

Because deep listening is a skill that never shows up in metrics,
But changes everything:

→ How people grow
→ How decisions land
→ How teams feel seen
→ How conflict de-escalates

The higher up you go, the less people tell you when you interrupt.

So you assume you’re doing fine.

But really, you're just going unchallenged.

So here’s my rep for the rest of the year:

Shut up, breathe, let them finish, and then respond.

You want to lead better in 2026?

Start by speaking 20% less.
Let the room breathe.

That’s where real leadership begins.

What’s one skill you’d commit to mastering by Dec 31, and why that one?

A few years back, the job hunt for fresh graduates meant campus placements and generic resumes. But now, the game has changed.

If you’re a student or fresh graduate here’s one truth: 

LinkedIn is no longer optional, it’s your launchpad.

Here’s what top recruiters are looking for:

1. LinkedIn isn’t just a job portal, it’s a network builder. 

Find roles, follow companies, engage with content, and learn how hiring managers think.

2. Don’t hide your campus projects, volunteer work, or skills. 

These are your differentiators. Use your profile and content to tell a story, not just your degree.

And once you land that interview:

-Know more about the company than the average candidate: find alumni on LinkedIn, follow the company page, and read recent updates.

-Prepare examples that show your adaptability, communication, and problem-solving. 

Practice your “Tell me about yourself” so that it’s more than a summary, it’s your opening pitch.  

Being a fresher today means blending the best of digital presence with genuine, prepared interview skills.

To every student navigating this journey: 

Your potential multiplies when you show up prepared both online and in person.

What’s one piece of advice you wish someone gave you when you started your career?

#LinkedInvertis #InvertisUniversity

“Unemployability is a bigger problem than unemployment.”

That was the uncomfortable truth at the Bengaluru Skill Summit 2025, where 3,000+ leaders came together to fix a broken pipeline.

Here’s what they uncovered:

55% of Indian graduates aren’t job-ready.

Not because there aren’t jobs
Not because they lack degrees

But because they lack the skills employers actually need.

For context:

MBA graduates = 78% employability
Engineers = 71.5%

But the real gap isn’t the degree.
It’s what stacks on top of it:

→ Communication
→ Problem-solving
→ Emotional intelligence

The market is automating everything it can.

The roles that remain?

They demand people who can:

→ Adapt in real time
→ Communicate with clarity
→ Lead through uncertainty
→ Build trust across diverse teams

And that’s where most graduates fall short.

The takeaway?

Stop training workers.

Start developing leaders at every level.

What’s the biggest soft skills gap you’re seeing in your industry and what’s it costing?
