Empathy at Work

Empathy often discussed
as good quality for effective living
yet its power,impact on the job
often overlooked, unappreciated
to some unaware,unknown..

In its absence
you don't listen
when others speak
you don't care
for their concerns, difficulties
no support offered
to alleviate their fears

The signal you give
is that I don't
care what you do
skip.hop or jump
just get me the results
the results I want!

With a little bit of empathy,
understanding and support
without pressure
without threats
without strict monitoring
the unwilling turn willing
and the willing start flying
surpassing goals...
surpassing all expectations!
