You know , empathy oftentimes comes from a place of like feeling compassion for the other person , having feelings for them . And I think it makes sense when you're a leader to have empathy for the people that you are managing or leading . But I think for happiness , for lack of anxiety , for joy , for the journey that I want for every person in this room .
Why ? Because I think that's the exact moment where if the people in this room deployed , empathy to the people above them , if you think about being frustrated with your manager or your leader or their leader's leader or their leader's leader , I don't know if you've heard , but everyone's got a boss and the guys in this room really know what I'm talking about . Everybody's got a boss no matter what your position looks like .
But I think for happiness , for lack of anxiety , for joy , for the journey that I want for every person in this room . One of the things to really think about is having empathy for the person above you . One of the things that I've seen bring enormous happiness to many people in my organizations , the companies I invest in the companies that I run and then just organizations , sports organizations , service organizations is when you in this room , let's just do a for instance , when you're working on something as an engineer here , right ?
Thank you , sir . Empathy is having the capacity and compassion to care about other people's feelings , not caring about other people's opinions is based on being secure in your own skin and not valuing judgment . They're very , very easy to balance though .
But I think it's very much misunderstood . You know , empathy oftentimes comes from a place of like feeling compassion for the other person , having feelings for them . And I think it makes sense when you're a leader to have empathy for the people that you are managing or leading .
