Empathy is an Emotional and Social Intelligence Leadership Competency that forms the basis of social awareness and relationship management. Having empathy is the ability to sense the emotions - and understand the perspective - of others. Empathic leaders are able to relate to many different types of people, listen attentively, and communicate effectively.

In Empathy: A Primer, Daniel Goleman and colleagues introduce the Empathy Competency, describe why it is important for quality leadership, and give some practical insights for developing this learnable skill.

This is the sixth in a series of Primers that explores each of the 12 Emotional and Social Intelligence Leadership Competencies. Each includes an overview of the Competency Model.

Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, Richard J. Davidson, Vanessa Druskat, and George Kohlrieser explain what it takes to develop empathy from the perspectives of research, psychology, neuroscience, team dynamics, and leadership development.

  • Overview of the Emotional and Social Intelligence Leadership Competency Model

  • The Brain Science Behind Empathy
