Recommendation

Leaders who succeed in today’s world take an empathetic approach to solving problems. Practicing empathy enables you to view challenges from multiple perspectives, an essential skill for leaders who want to inspire innovation. Princeton University visiting lecturer Michael Ventura argues that empathy is like a muscle, in that you can train it by embracing certain perspectives and rituals. He guides you toward practicing empathy to achieve alignment in your business and personal life while seizing opportunities for growth. Ventura also sends you on an inward journey to learn to have empathy for yourself.

Take-Aways

  • Cultivate empathy by learning to see the world from other people’s perspective.
  • Many company leaders fail to practice empathy.
  • People show empathy through seven different archetypes.
