Episode 119: Bridging the Empathy Gap

In this episode of Work Savvy, Karen is joined by leadership expert and speaker Daniel Murray to unpack the game-changing role of empathy in leadership. Drawing from his new book The Empathy Gap, Daniel challenges the outdated idea that leadership is about authority and control and shows why empathy is not just “nice to have” — it’s a strategic advantage.

Together, Karen and Daniel explore how empathy builds trust, fuels innovation and creates stronger, more connected teams. Listeners will gain practical strategies for asking better questions, navigating conflict with clarity and building influence rooted in authenticity and human connection.
