Abstract: 'Empathetic Leadership in Advisement: Lessons from Mr. Rogers for Nurturing Success'

Drawing from the compassionate ethos of Mr. Fred Rogers, we propose a holistic approach to leading academic advisement teams. Rooted in empathy, kindness, and respect for individuality, we advocate for the creation of a nurturing environment within the advisement team, fostering open communication, mutual support, and a sense of belonging. Leading with empathy emerges as a central tenet, highlighting our role in listening to advisors' concerns, acknowledging their strengths, and facilitating their professional growth through training, mentorship, and recognition. At the core of Mr. Rogers's philosophy lies a student-centered approach, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing students' well-being and success. By aligning our efforts with this overarching goal, we can empower advisors to advocate for students' needs and aspirations, fostering a culture of care and compassion. Embodying the values of kindness, respect, and genuine concern, we can create an environment where advisors thrive and students flourish, ultimately enhancing the academic experience for all involved.
