Best-selling author, healthcare innovator, and global thought leader Donato Tramuto is calling on leaders everywhere to stop beating themselves up and start leading with more humanity.

In his new article, Tramuto shines a light on a truth many executives avoid: that harsh self-talk and perfectionism are hurting teams, not helping them.

“Leaders don’t need to be perfect,” Tramuto writes. “They need to be whole. And forgiveness is how we get there.”

Drawing from his personal experience as a former CEO and co-founder of the TramutoPorter Foundation, the article breaks down how the simple practice of self-forgiveness can transform workplace culture, boost performance, and build lasting trust. The piece offers real stories, practical steps, and engaging insight—written in Tramuto’s signature clear, relatable style.

With burnout at an all-time high and employee trust at record lows, Tramuto says the time to act is now.

“When leaders stop punishing themselves for every misstep, they lead with more confidence, more clarity, and more compassion,” Tramuto explains. “It starts on the inside—but the impact reaches everyone.”

The article is part of a broader awareness campaign by the TramutoPorter Foundation to promote Compassionate Leadership in Action—a set of resources, training, and community conversations aimed at creating healthier, more human workplaces.
