New research reveals a "Compassionate Leadership Gap" in today's workplace and how to successfully close it while delivering results in "The Double Bottom Line"

OGUNQUIT, Mo., April 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Donato J. Tramuto, recognized CEO, business leader, innovator, and philanthropist, makes the case that embracing compassion and humanity to a greater degree will drive the workplace and your bottom line forward.

In his new book, THE DOUBLE BOTTOM LINE: How Compassionate Leaders Captivate Hearts and Deliver Results (Fast Company Press), Tramuto shares original research fielded among 1,500 US workers, and in-depth interviews with 40 successful leaders who practice compassionate leadership.

100% of the proceeds from "The Double Bottom Line" will be donated to compassion-driven organizations.

The research exposed a compassionate leadership gap—leaders express support for compassionate practices, but most workers don't perceive their leaders to be practicing compassion leadership adequately, if at all. Additional gaps were revealed, for example most workers believe a compassionate workforce leads to cooperation, which leads to greater productivity and profitability, however most workers believed their workplace more competitive than cooperative. Research also reveals that most leaders have an innate desire to be compassionate, but many don't know how. to put it into practice.

THE DOUBLE BOTTOM LINE puts forth proven strategies to close the compassionate leadership gap and drive results. Filled with first-hand examples from high-profile compassionate leaders such as founder and CEO of Sharecare and founder of WebMD, Jeff Arnold; Thasunda Brown Duckett, President & CEO of TIAA; Journalist & Entrepreneur, Katie Couric; Bruce Broussard, CEO of Humana; Dr. Sandro Galea, Dean at Boston University School of Public Health, THE DOUBLE BOTTOM LINE defines a new model of leadership and examines how to cultivate more compassionate people.

"We are finding that putting people first and delivering results are not two separate goals. Rather, a strong focus on people drives strong results, creating the double bottom line," argues Tramuto. "The double bottom line is the idea that a company can measure its success by producing 1) strong financial results and 2) a positive impact on their people and the community at the same time."

100% of the book's proceeds will be donated to compassion-driven organizations.
