Is empathy a necessary skill for your daily work? From 1 to 10.

@artem_bezrukov what do you mean by "I can succeed without empathy"? Do you use other tools to improve quality of communication? Or what, could you tell bit more about it?

@w_j Hey, would you kindly give a brief description of what do you do, and when do you use empathy? Currently, I'm checking new product hypothesis and looking forward to speak with professionals that believe empathy is important for them.

@new_user_163720ddf7 Hey Aram, empathy is giving real attention to others, yes? So I'm learning to listen and hear the needs and reasons of others. Both at work and in personal interactions. But it's not that easy ;)

@shishkinii Honestly, I see that plenty of people talks about it, but few implement any hand on tools to help employees develop empathy. Lot of talking and lack of real instruments. Maybe you know any examples? How employers implement such thing to their corporate culture (I only know Microsoft case and Google one, as ex googler)

@shishkinii @new_user_163720ddf7 actually, in most international companies I’ve been worked (adidas, L’Oréal) have courses, internal trainers and recommendations “how to manage hard situations and conflicts. But the issue is in implementation. After that kind of courses, like “How to give and recieve feedback” you come back to real life and real situations, and there real people without NVC in their communication. That’s the case.

@marko_rakic2 Hey Marko, you said: "No skill such as empathy." I doubt that, let's discuss it. Why do you think so? I believe empathy is a skill, start with self empathy. It takes energy, focus and attention to empathize to someone.

@new_user_163720ddf7 Open to discussion :) Can you imagine a (business) world without empathy? - People would judge each other more aggressively. No one would care for a person's context and process. Results will be the only important thing. - Our emotions won't matter that much. If leaders haven't learned empathy, they won't care and understand what people's emotions are about. - It will be harder for people to socialize and get on board when no one understands their position (isn't it hard enough already?) I don't want my managers to perceive my emotion as data they don't understand and feel burned out for life. That's why we should all learn empathy. Without it, our feelings lose their meaning. It's my opinion. Why do you think "there is nothing such as empathy" is wrong? :)

@cansu_aydede caring I believe care kind much broader thing, but empathy definitely included in caring. You could care physically, mentally, give more equity & salary. Empathy is something straight forward - you connect through our own emotions & need to another person emotion & needs. I believe so, and when you have this magic connection between 2 people or group of people - that the magic

@bakhrom Well I was inspired by Microsoft's experience. Dk if you know that, but they were the first in big tech to implement Non-Violent Communication as part of corporate culture. Here is an example from Inc - https://www.inc.com/jessica-stil...
