Empathy: Essential for Effective Leaders and Teams

Description:

In the technology-accelerated marketplace, managers’ empathetic understanding and individualized attention—supported by customizable schedules and applications—is improving employees’ engagement and productivity. At all levels of organizations, leaders with empathetic approaches are better-equipped to build trust-based, reciprocal relationships and effectively manage their increasingly distributed and blended teams.
As work becomes less predictable, emotionally-intelligent, transparent and open-minded styles enable teams to be nimble and responsive and their businesses stay competitive. Empathetic sensibility is also important to help employers attract and retain critical workers of all ages in the talent-focused Future of Work environment, especially considering the tighter labor market
