Empathy in the
Workplace
Karen Velasquez• 5.25.2017
Why?
Authentic leaders also need
to have empathy in order to
be aware of others
(Walumbwa, Avolio, Gardner,
Wernsing, & Peterson, 2008
Investing in People
Leaders today need to be more
person- focused and be
able to work with those
not just in the next cubicle,
but also with those in other
buildings, or other
countries. -Center for
Creative Leadership.
Many leadership theories
suggest the ability to
have and display
empathy is an important
part of leadership.
Empathetic emotion as rated
from the leader’s subordinates
positively predicts job
performance ratings from the
leader’s boss.
How?
1. Talk about empathy
2. Teach listening skills
3. En outage genuine perspective taking
4. Cultivate compassion
5.Support all managers
Empathetic leaders are assets to
organizations, in part, because they
are able to e ectively build and
maintain relationships—a critical
part of leading organizations
anywhere in the world
