| Executive coach Massimo Backus shows leaders why they must develop compassion for themselves as they strive to become better at guiding others. He explains that self-compassion is the key to treating those you lead with compassion, as well. He cautions contemporary leaders against practicing the type of cold arrogance that distances them from other people and urges them to honor their basic humanity instead.
