Compassionate leadership emerged with the goal of restoring relationships between employees and leaders. According to Farhi Karakas and Emine Sarigollu, it is based on four paradigms of the common good in organizational research: morality, spirituality, vitality, and community. Described as a process of creating a virtuous cycle of encouraging and initiating positive change, it is embodied by making ethical decisions, creating meaning, inspiring hope, and fostering courage for positive action, and positively impacting the broader community. Compassionate leaders are those who create benefits, positive changes, and observable results for the common good of the organization.
