Empathy is a major component of EQ, the ability to connect with another person based on your willingness to experience them without judgement.

That experience is ultimately about being able to understand the person, feel with them, and ultimately take action that will make a difference. This book unpacks the three dimensions of empathy, to make them real for leaders who appreciate the value of human connection. It is an essential read for anyone who:

• wants to explore emotional intelligence more deeply
• is leading a team through a particularly tough challenge
• wants to master the art of connection more effectively
• is building a diverse and inclusive team culture
• runs a company and wants to grow a culture where there is a strong sense of belonging

Empathy is no longer optional for leaders who strive for deeper connection. Become a leader who others truly want to follow.
