“The main tenet of design thinking is empathy for the people you’re trying to design for. Leadership is exactly the same thing–building empathy for the people that you’re entrusted to help,” he says.


So how does Kelley move people from junior positions into leadership roles? After relying on careful listening and intuition to hire the right people, Kelley actively develops his people in a structured way

To Be Productive: Customers Want Empathy! | Empathic Design: Human-Centered Design & Design Thinking | Scoop.it

Empathy is what everyone wants…to speak to a caring person who can identify with our problem and understand what it feels like to be in that situation.

When you show empathy you can “see” the situation through the eyes of the customer. The customer then feels cared for and valued .

Question: What is workplace empathy?

Dev Patnaik: Every single one of us understands what empathy is on a personal level, and that’s because we are blessed with the ability to connect with other people, right?


We’re born with this biological power to connect with other folks, to step outside of ourselves and walk in someone else’s shoes, to intuitively get where the person is coming from and get their feelings and their point of view.

Bill Drayton - Ashoka - Empathy — Social Edge

Bill Drayton - Ashoka - Empathy — Social Edge | Empathic Design: Human-Centered Design & Design Thinking | Scoop.it

Bill Drayton tells Global X why the largest group of social entrepreneurs who have been selected to become Ashoka Fellows (450 out of 2,400) concentrate on children and young people: "What really matters is whether children master applied empathy, and whether young people (12 to 20) master empathy teamwork leadership and become change makers" through extra-curriculum activities such as tutoring services, help hotlines or community radio stations.



"Those who don't master applied empathy will be marginalized, and if there are children who didn't have a chance to develop these skills, it's our fault, not theirs!" adds Bill Drayton.

He believes leadership is a matter of empathizing with employees. In this interview, he explains why leaders should seek understanding rather than blind obedience, why it's better to be a coach and a taskmaster and why you can't teach leadership with a PowerPoint presentation.

New research suggests creativity in the workplace is enhanced by concern for others’ needs, and a willingness to walk in their shoes.

Creativity is usually thought of as internally motivated, but new research suggests that, at least in the business world, the link between inspiration and ingenuity is strengthened by focusing on the needs of others.
