How to Lead People with Empathy
- Have them help you read a room or get a feel for people’s thoughts. They are naturally talented at this.
- Ask Empathy people for their “gut feeling” when making a decision. They may share something you do not normally consider.
- Ask people with Empathy their feelings about how they feel about the situation. This will help with buy-in and create a greater commitment that they know that you care about their feelings and input.
