EMPATHY

ARTICLE: Forbes – Why empathy is the force that moves business forward
Jayson Boyers (President and CEO of Cleary University) argues that behind every successful business, you are likely to find a leader who has mastered the skill of empathy.
One of the hallmarks of a successful business is its ability to harness creativity to constantly push into new territory. Without growth and innovation, businesses stagnate and eventually fade away. Those with staying power, however, have mastered an intangible, often overlooked factor that allows them to focus on the future with clarity: empathy. While that may surprise many, I am certain that the ability to connect with and relate to others—empathy in its purest form—is the force that moves businesses forward.
