Empaths

Empathy is quite a buzzword for leadership. Does it mean being sensitive and warm rather than uptight and cold? Would too much empathy be mistaken for meekness and indecisiveness?

The gift of empathy tends to make one emotional but the lack of it is worse as it makes one mechanical. So make small talk, check on an ailing colleague, loop back on the favor you promised – let empathy complement your talents and skills. Afterall people matter 🙂
