    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly.

Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness.

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle.

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this episode, Mahalakshmi and Lakshminarayan share their perspectives with Sivaguru on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    How they got into IT<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    Maha finding her liking for bug fixing with some development, over development only<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    How a production support role gave her more flexibility with her time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    Having a supportive environment at work and home, and more flexibility with time after having a kid<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    Being lucky to be on a project that allowed this flexibility<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    How, for Lakshmi, while there were changes in the work hours, there was no change in terms of the understanding and support for women colleagues<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    Chipping in to support Maha with some of the child related activities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    How, working from home has increased the expectations on availability over extended hours<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    The growing mutual understanding among peers and teams or the need to balance personal and work demands, particularly while working in a dispersed model<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    The significance and benefit of discussions on the nature of work with one\u2019s spouse, even before getting married for better understanding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Lakshminarayanan Natarajan, has been in the IT industry for 12 years and is currently working as project lead in development work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Mahalakshmi Ganesan has been in the IT industry for the last 7 years and is presently a technology analyst , working in an application support team .<\/p>\n","post_title":"Mutual Respect & Support with Maha & Lakshmi","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"mutual-respect-support-with-maha-lakshmi","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-03-28 05:04:05","post_modified_gmt":"2021-03-27 23:34:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/pm-powerconsulting.com\/blog\/mutual-respect-support-with-maha-lakshmi\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":18496,"post_author":"33","post_date":"2021-03-26 06:18:19","post_date_gmt":"2021-03-26 00:48:19","post_content":"\n
    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lakshminarayanan Natarajan, has been in the IT industry for 12 years and is currently working as project lead in development work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lakshminarayanan Natarajan, has been in the IT industry for 12 years and is currently working as project lead in development work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle.

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We wonder many times why other people don\u2019t understand us, why they are so wrong in their thinking\/ideas\/ideologies, why they are so insensitive in their behaviors, and so on\u2026 Have we considered the possibility that others may be feeling the same about us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This happens because of lack of empathy. We have certain \u2018values\u2019 \u2013 what we consider as important: we think this is right, that is wrong; this is good, that is bad etc. When we are not empathetic, we expect everybody else should value what we value. When we are empathetic, we understand that just like we have certain values, others have their own values \u2013 their own rights & wrongs, good & bad, \u2026 And we respect that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Empathy is one of the greatest qualities needed in Leaders. Only through empathy, Leaders can build teams with diversity & inclusion \u2013 they respect people with diverse values, ideas and they build an environment where people mutually respect diversity. Such teams with diversity are the sources of innovation; homogeneity cannot breed innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Good Leaders surround themselves with people who have skills & traits that are complementary to them (not-so-good leaders tend to recruit people who are \u2018like them\u2019). This requires great self-awareness and empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Can one develop empathy or is it inborn? Good news is that we can cultivate empathy. Witness-Mind<\/strong> is a powerful tool to build empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This is how to practice it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    For every transaction with others, be it a direct face-to-face conversation or phone call or while writing an email or even thinking about them, we create a conscious thought process in our mind, which observes ourselves as well as the other person(s)<\/strong> as if a third-party watching from the top, as shown in the picture. This brings a neutral unbiased view of our own thoughts & actions and helps us look from other persons\u2019 perspectives. It\u2019s like a daemon process in computer Operating System which observes all other processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caveat:<\/strong> Sympathy is not Empathy. During our Mindful Leadership workshops, this is one of the frequently asked questions: If people become empathetic, will they become too soft and lose the competitive edge? This question comes when people misunderstand Empathy as Sympathy. If a surgeon sympathizes with the patient as it creates pain and avoids an operation, that is not empathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Here is a short story to illustrate the difference between sympathy & empathy: A little girl watching a butterfly struggling to break open the shell, cut open the shell to help the butterfly. But then the butterfly couldn\u2019t fly after coming out as its wings were too weak \u2013 it\u2019s nature\u2019s way to build strength through the process of struggle. Was the girl empathetic or sympathetic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Google\u2019s \u201cSearch Inside Yourself<\/strong>\u201d Leadership program emphasizes \u2018compassionate\u2019 leadership, as such Leaders inspire and bring the best out of people, build collaboration within the organization and outside and create larger impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Caution:<\/strong> Witnessing is so powerful that one might get enlightened \ud83d\ude0a \u2013 one might realize that we are not this finite body-mind complex, but we are the infinite existence\/consciousness!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The Witness-mind practice looks simple, but is hard to practice, because we get carried away by our own thoughts & emotions and lose awareness. Self-awareness is central to all Emotional Intelligence, Empathy being one of the components. Mindfulness practices are a practical way to develop higher self-awareness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
