(via An Open Mind is the remedy - Who is Leading YOU?)
Over the past several months we have studied empathy and its effects. Prior to this we investigated the importance of a genuine nature in leaders. All of these are the blocks for building the foundation for effective listening. When we first started our leadership journey together we learned to master control over our own emotions, mind, and self. It is good that we review these from time to time. Today, however, we shall begin the last stage of effective listening, fostering an open mind.
For empathy to flourish we should all challenge our selves and one another to step outside of our comfort zone from time to time.

(via Experience Responses are an instant turn off - Who is Leading YOU?)
Modern day western society embeds in us the notion that experience is critical in the work place. Many might argue that without this experience or that experience trust in human ability and ingenuity shalt be forsaken. It is as if the transferability of creativity is no longer possible. While there is merit to this argument it is now a fixed and hardened law of life. Similar to the law of gravity, this new law of human ability is portrayed. The unintended consequences of this widespread phenomenon are affecting productivity and communication in the work place and at home.
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.

When we lose reason, we lose respect. When we lose respect, we find mutual benefit becomes elusive. Without these things we should discover an empty box where once love resided.

(via Empathy equals results - Who is Leading YOU?)
We have investigated the mystery of empathy over the past several weeks. We should have a decent picture of what comprises it. However, have we considered the anti-empathy? What is the opposite of empathy? Are we brave enough to venture upon these waters? Are we comfortable enough with our flaws and weaknesses to answer this question?
