CEO Ravi uses cognitive empathy to solve sales slump, transforming team dynamics and uncovering innovative solutions. Discover how this approach can elevate your leadership.
The story
Ravi stared at his frustrated team. Sales were down, and the marketing department felt unheard. As CEO, he was expected to fix it.
Old Ravi would’ve barked orders and pushed harder. But he’d been exploring cognitive empathy, inspired by “A Practical EmPath: Rewire Your Mind.” It wasn’t about softer leadership, but using emotional intelligence to drive results.
“Sophia, what’s really going on?” he asked.
She hesitated. “It’s not just numbers, Ravi. We’re burnt out and feeling ignored.”
Instead of dismissing her, Ravi dug deeper. He asked about overlooked gaps and cross-department collaboration. As he listened, resistance faded. Ideas flowed.
Within an hour, unexpected solutions emerged. Not from quick fixes, but from Ravi’s shift to understanding problems rather than forcing answers.
That’s cognitive empathy’s power. It’s not “going soft” – it’s making smarter decisions.
