The “E” Word
summary
Empathy is presented as a practical workplace tool with three concrete levels: care just enough (ask how people are, listen, remember details), use a thinking-strategy profile (the uploader mentions an 18‑strategy model — pick Myers‑Briggs/TrueColors or similar — and engineer scenarios to reveal motivators), and level 3 imagination (mentally adopt another’s perspective but beware of emotional overload). The claim: used safely it spots blockers and gives project health checks; the risk: over‑engagement can consume productivity.
