Embracing Focus and Radical Empathy in Leadership: A Path to Transformative Change

Embracing Focus and Radical Empathy in Leadership: A Path to Transformative Change | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it

Radical Empathy in Leadership

Radical empathy is the willingness to show love and understanding to people whose actions toward you—and others who share your identity or belief—are the opposite of love. It requires us to offer empathy to those who may choose hatred or indifference. While this may seem like an arduous challenge, it is also the pathway to true transformation.

 

As leaders, it is our responsibility to cultivate an environment where empathy is not just a value, but a practice. We must recognize that everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs, has the potential for growth and change. By showing empathy to those who need it most, we create the conditions for deeper, more authentic connections that can lead to lasting change.

The Transformative Power of Empathy for Education | CSAR | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it
Empathy is a facilitator of social, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing and achievement that can actualise teaching, learning and the self. Dr Helen Demetriou will present some of her research in empathy over the last three decades from the Institute of Psychiatry King’s College London to the Faculty of Education University of Cambridge, including early childhood empathy, pupil voice, teacher-pupil engagement, creativity in the classroom, and the most recent work using empathy interventions in schools that has shown an increase in empathic awareness, wellbeing and school engagement.

Psychology and Neurobiology of Empathy – Nova Science Publishers | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it
The scientific study of empathy has exploded in the past decade. Practically all of the relevant sciences — from various neuroscientific, psychological and sociological perspectives — are now vigorously participating in the emerging conversations about the nature of this essential, pro-social process.

 

Empathy is also emerging as a critical topic in medical education and practice, in terms of its essential relevance for not only the patient – physician relationship and bed-side practice, but also for diverse psychiatric problems and syndromes that demonstrate a fundamental disordering of empathy, particularly conduct disorder/sociopathy and autistic spectrum disorders.

How to Measure Empathy in SE: Development and Validation of SE-Oriented Empathy Scale

Hashini Gunatilake

 

The study employs several data collection methods including surveys, expert interviews, and cognitive interviews with software practitioners. In the first phase, key constructs and dimensions of empathy relevant to SE contexts were identified using insights from existing literature and findings from a STGT study developing a theory of empathy in SE.

 

A candidate pool of items for the SE-oriented empathy scales was then developed by refining items from existing empathy scales and creating new items tailored to the unique intricacies of the SE context. A survey was conducted to collect feedback from software practitioners, who were asked to rate the relevance of each candidate item for measuring empathy in SE based on their experience and the provided definition of empathy.

 

Participants were also invited to edit items for clarity and simplicity, and suggest additional items they deemed important for an instrument designed to measure empathy in SE contexts. Based on this feedback, the candidate items were refined, and initial empathy scales were developed. Following scale development, the validation process involves multiple steps:

Humanizing AI Agents: Emotion Detection And Empathy In Collaborative Workflows

Humanizing AI Agents: Emotion Detection And Empathy In Collaborative Workflows | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it

by Manasi Sharma

The Empathy Edge: Why It Matters

Let’s talk about empathy. It’s what makes great leaders, memorable colleagues and supportive teams. But can an AI truly be empathetic? Empathy in AI isn’t about replicating human emotions; it’s about recognizing them and responding in meaningful, helpful ways.

..

Humanizing AI with emotion detection and empathy isn’t about making machines "feel." It’s about making them understand us better—and respond in ways that improve our lives. In a world increasingly defined by speed and efficiency, a little empathy could be the edge that transforms how we thrive.

Did you feel more empathetic in your younger days? Here's why it's harder to express now and how to rekindle it | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it

by Lakshana N Palat 

 

The study found that young adults are particularly in tune with social pain, like embarrassment or grief, and feel a deeper connection to those experiencing emotional distress than teens or older adults do. It’s a new look at how empathy evolves, shaped by our experiences with both social situations and pain.

Empathy is a vital part of how we connect with others, and this study shows that although older adults experience stronger brain reactions to pain, they struggle to rate the intensity of others' suffering accurately. Their empathy is there, but it’s harder to express or measure.

The Sin of Toxic Empathy is a MAGA Dogwhistle to Make Sure Mothers Stay in Line

The Sin of Toxic Empathy is a MAGA Dogwhistle to Make Sure Mothers Stay in Line | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it

Allie Beth Stuckey's book explains why evangelical MAGAs feel a responsibility to hate.

 

What the hell is that? Since when is empathy a sin? According to Garrett, a woman calling for empathy is a “snake” who hates God.

You need to properly hate in response” is certainly not “love your enemies,” “turn the other cheek,” or any other Jesus-talk.

“Your eye shall not pity” is from Deuteronomy 19: 21.

 

“Your eyes shall not pity: it shall be life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.” The verse describes retribution and the Old Testament practice of murdering “false preachers.”

Garrett’s threat to Bishop Budde’s life flew over the heads of most Americans. But neither “your eye shall not pity” nor “the sin of empathy” would’ve escaped the target audience: MAGA and MAHA mothers, who feel moved by a call for mercy.

Rethink: Empathy in the age of AI - by Rachel Botsman

Rethink: Empathy in the age of AI - by Rachel Botsman | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it

by Rachel Botsman
Why the limitations of empathetic AI could be its true potential

Empathy is such a powerful concept that is being talked about a lot these days in the context of retaining genuine human connection in the age of AI. The concept of empathy is only a little more than a century old and it originated not in science, business or technology – but in art.

In the 1800s, a growing field called the 'philosophy of aesthetics' looked at questions such as 'What is beauty?' A German psychologist, Theodor Lipps — considered the "father of empathy" — introduced the idea that the power of art lies not in the work itself but in the act of viewing. He believed that empathy with art is a form of projection, where we resonate with the artist's feelings as our own.

In 1873, German aesthetics student Robert Vischer described this projection of emotion as Einfühlung, or "feeling into." Decades later, in 1909, British psychologist Edward Titchener translated the word into English as "empathy," deriving it from the Greek empatheia, or "in pathos.”

Empathy: The Foundation of Healing
At the core of Kling’s philosophy lies empathy. She asserts that understanding a patient’s lived experience is not just a “nice-to-have” but a necessity for effective care. “Empathy allows clinicians to see beyond symptoms and diagnoses to the person behind them,” Kling explains. This understanding fosters trust, a critical component in the therapeutic relationship that enables patients to open up and engage in their treatment.

As parents and caregivers, we all know how challenging it can be to help our children navigate their emotions and manage conflict. It’s easy to feel stuck when they struggle to understand their feelings or react in ways that feel overwhelming. We are very excited to invite you to join us for the next Conscious Discipline Parent/Family Group Session, where we’ll explore the powerful role empathy plays in emotional regulation and conflict resolution. 

In this session, we’ll dive into the concept of empathy—not just as something we give to others, but as a skill we can help our children develop. Empathy is the foundation of emotional intelligence, and it’s essential for building strong relationships and resolving conflict peacefully. We’ll explore how acceptance—both of our own emotions and those of others—helps to pave the way for this essential skill.

Empathy and Communication Skills in Medical Education 

Empathy and Communication Skills in Medical Education  | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it
A systematic review of empathy in healthcare has revealed that greater empathy among healthcare personnel correlates with better patient care experiences and outcomes. The review analyzed numerous studies and found that while many interventions aimed at enhancing empathy were effective, most were focused on individual clinicians rather than organizational-level changes[1]. This suggests a need for broader strategies that can systematically improve empathy across healthcare settings.

Qualitative research has also explored the factors that contribute to the development of empathy in healthcare settings. A study involving focus group discussions with healthcare professionals identified both personal and external factors that influence empathetic behavior. These factors can be categorized based on their stability, indicating that while empathy can be inherent, it is also susceptible to fluctuations due to situational stressors and work environments[2]. This highlights the importance of creating supportive environments that foster empathy among healthcare providers.

How to Practice Equitable Empathy: What White Faculty Should–and Shouldn’t–Do

How to Practice Equitable Empathy: What White Faculty Should–and Shouldn’t–Do | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it

Equitable empathy is a necessary practice for creating healthy, antiracist institutions of learning, especially at predominantly white universities like ours.

 

In our combined decades of experience with equity in public schools—first as urban teachers and now as professors of early, elementary, and secondary education—we often appeal to empathy. And in fact, empathy is foundational to the work of social justice. However, as we provide equity training for universities, we see again and again the way white faculty misunderstand and misuse empathy and in so doing, impede rather than advance the work of equity.

13 Surprising Animals That Show Empathy Like Humans

Empathy, often considered a uniquely human trait, is increasingly being recognized in the animal kingdom. Many animals form deep emotional bonds and show genuine concern for the well-being of others. These behaviors go beyond simple instincts, suggesting a more complex understanding of emotions. The remarkable ways animals display empathy continue to fascinate scientists and challenge our perceptions of emotional intelligence, offering fresh perspectives on the emotional lives of non-human species. These discoveries are reshaping how we view the emotional complexity and capacity for empathy in the animal world.

Du Keke on "Dancing with All: The Ecology of Empathy"

Du Keke on "Dancing with All: The Ecology of Empathy" | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it
A warmhearted if somewhat naive sense of conviviality runs through “Dancing with All: The Ecology of Empathy,” the exhibition commemorating the twentieth anniversary of this venerable regional institution dedicated to contemporary art.

 

Bringing together more than sixty artists and groups from over a dozen regions and countries, the exhibition aims to address the museum’s 2025 theme of “new ecologies,” which, while ambitiously proposed as an all-encompassing framework that takes “into account society, the psyche and information,” is not formulated through a political or polemical perspective. Instead, it presents the museum as a utopian space where everything—human and nonhuman—“begins to dance, to move, to connect, to change.”

Empathy is widely used in many disciplines such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, health care. Ability to empathise with software end-users seems to be a vital skill software developers should possess. This is because engineering successful software systems involves not only interacting effectively with users but also understanding their true needs.

 

Empathy has the potential to address this situation. Empathy is a predominant human aspect that can be used to comprehend decisions, feelings, emotions and actions of users. However, to date empathy has been under-researched in software engineering (SE) context.

The Truth about Toxic Empathy and Why It’s Becoming a Controversial Topic

The Truth about Toxic Empathy and Why It’s Becoming a Controversial Topic | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it
Milton Quintanilla

We see plenty of scriptural support for empathy, whether it's the apostle Paul telling the church to "rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep" (Romans 12:35) or the apostle Peter's exhortation to believers to "have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind" (1 Peter 3:8). 

The Lord Jesus Christ, our prime example, is described in the book of Hebrews as our great high priest who empathizes with all our weaknesses because He in "every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 7:15). Therefore, we see that empathy can be a good thing when looked at biblically.

The Empathy Illusion: Why Perceived Humanity Defines AI's Role

The Empathy Illusion: Why Perceived Humanity Defines AI's Role | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it
If we change our perspective on empathy away from the “provider” to the “receiver”, the ability to be empathetic is evaluated by the impact it has. Research into AI and empathy then takes a different shape and purpose.

 

How does the data an AI is trained on impact its ability to respond dynamically to individual questions and concerns? How do different tones of voice, choice of words, ability to explain concepts clearly, and perceived personality have an effect on perceived empathy?

 

As with human-based interventions, what guardrails and safety measures are needed to ensure the safety of, and avoid harm to, the individual?

Why Empathy and Observation Will Revolutionize Your Leadership Style

Why Empathy and Observation Will Revolutionize Your Leadership Style | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it
The heart of strategic leadership lies in empathy and observation
Human intelligence relies on understanding people: what makes them tick, what their needs are, how they think and work through issues, and how they behave in any given situation. Empathy enables leaders to connect with everyone involved, whether employees, customers or partners, to turn data into valuable resources. Observing subtle dynamics, from workplace morale to market trends, provides context that raw data often lacks.
irisfayos26@gmail.com's curator insight, January 30, 2:58 PM
El liderazgo estratégico va más allá de la toma de decisiones basadas en datos y análisis racionales; en su núcleo, radica la empatía y la observación como herramientas clave para comprender y conectar con las personas. La inteligencia humana no solo se basa en procesar información, sino en interpretar emociones, motivaciones y patrones de comportamiento. Un líder eficaz no solo dirige, sino que también escucha, analiza y se adapta a las necesidades del entorno. La empatía permite a los líderes generar confianza, construir relaciones sólidas y comprender las inquietudes de su equipo o clientes. Un líder que demuestra empatía no solo mejora el clima organizacional, sino que también fomenta la innovación y el compromiso dentro de la organización. Por otro lado, la observación es esencial para captar las dinámicas que no siempre están reflejadas en los datos. Entender las señales sutiles del comportamiento humano y del entorno empresarial permite tomar decisiones informadas que vayan más allá de los números, integrando una visión más holística de la realidad. En un mundo cada vez más digitalizado, donde el análisis de datos juega un papel predominante, la capacidad de interpretar contextos emocionales y sociales sigue siendo un diferenciador clave en el liderazgo. La combinación de empatía y observación transforma la información en conocimiento útil, permitiendo a los líderes diseñar estrategias más humanas, adaptables y efectivas.

Word Attack: "empathy" - by Sabrina Joy Stevens

Word Attack: "empathy" - by Sabrina Joy Stevens | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it

Sabrina Joy Stevens

 

Genuinely empathetic people extend their compassion in all directions, toward people they don’t agree with as much as toward people they do. They don’t assume that their way is the only way to care about an issue or a person, or shut down hard conversations by equating disagreement with heartlessness, or police free speech.

 

Genuine empathy would trigger curiosity about why a friend or family member voted differently from oneself, for example, not disdain or rejection. Genuine empathy would elicit concern for desperate people who immigrated to America illegally and for the native and naturalized workers, families, and communities displaced or disrupted by influxes of unauthorized migrants, as well as the victims of traffickers, drug cartels, gangs and terrorist networks who exploit generous countries with weak borders.

 

It motivates people to seek principled, evidence-based approaches to challenging situations, recognizing that the best way to actually help people is to get a solid understanding of what’s really going on, so we can make the most of whatever trade-offs are at play in each situation.

No se trata de imponer nuestra forma de ver el mundo, sino de escuchar, comprender y abrir la mente para considerar todas las aristas de un problema. Esta empatía nos invita a no cerrar conversaciones difíciles por miedo al desacuerdo, sino a buscar las razones detrás de las diferencias, reconociendo que solo a través de un entendimiento profundo podemos encontrar soluciones que beneficien realmente a todos.

The Value of an Empathy Walk

The Value of an Empathy Walk | Empathy Movement Magazine | Scoop.it

Empathy is about “feeling into,” not just observing.
Understanding others leads to greater self-awareness.
Physical imitation can deepen your understanding of others' experiences.

Einfühlung: In-feeling.

This practice reminds me of the German word Einfühlung—a term that loosely translates to “empathy” but originally meant “in-feeling” or “feeling into.” I first learned this word while recording an episode of my podcast, Fifty Words For Snow, where my where my cohost and I explore words from around the world that lack an English equivalent. Einfühlung perfectly captures what an empathy walk offers: the chance to feel into another’s experience, not just observe it from the outside.
