The Compassionate Leadership Initiative has been described by participants as a transformative experience, bringing small cohorts of networked individuals together with Team Atleo for two days in Squamish, BC. In sharing their teachings, Team Atleo hopes to inspire curiosity and spark interest in the value and practical application of Compassionate Leadership in the health care system.
“Wearing other hats, such as a UBC family medicine residency program faculty member I have an opportunity to share the teachings from compassionate leadership so that healthcare providers start seeing this way of operating within systems as much more of a standard of practice.”

Making a Difference
“One of the elements of compassionate leadership that we are incorporating into the structure of the new organization we are creating is around conflict resolution. We have made it one of our guiding principles that where there is not group consensus around something we don’t default to “the majority rules”. Instead, we seek more information to better understand one another’s perspectives so we can co-create a solution. We do not create a culture of “othering".”
