Teaser
Day 19 of 28, Empathy takes mental energy: August 1942. The connection is direct.
TLDR
August 1942.
Churchill visited troops in North Africa. He spoke with soldiers who had been in combat for months. He sat with them. He listened. His capacity for empathy remained intact despite the weight of the war.
Empathy requires mental energy. When leaders stretch beyond their limits, that capacity drops. Protecting mental fitness protects the ability to serve the public.
The connection is direct.
Context
