Wonderful article, Susan. Early on in my career, I worked for the least empathetic person I had met. His actions, toward me and others on our team impacted how I chose to work and later manage others. Empathy as a leadership skill shoul be discussed more often. Thank you for highlighting it.
Thank you, Tracy. It’s amazing how early experiences, especially with the absence of empathy, shape who we become as leaders. I’m so glad this resonated. I used to tell people I started my management consulting firm to teach others how to act the opposite of what I experienced at a GM manufacturing facility early in my career. That kind of imprint stays with you.
Empathy at work was a skill I had to learn by being gently schooled by a coworker. Everything here rings loudly true! Thank you!
Thank you, Aimee. Empathy is truly at the core of relationships.
