The Power of Empathy in the Workplace with Scott Spiker
Empathy: Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Empathy in the workplace is something aspirational, that we talk about a lot. It might even be a core value or embedded into our culture manifestos. Corporations understand the value of empathetic leadership, but can fall short on living and breathing it every day. Empathy is something that is felt, seen and remembered. It is important that everyone begin to cultivate their own empathetic sense, not only for personal well being, but as an essential skills to creating better teams, organizations and lives.
