The story
You’ve got deadlines and endless emails piling up when a team member walks in with a problem. Do you rush them out or actually listen?
That moment right there? It’s where cognitive empathy makes all the difference. Not the warm-fuzzy kind of empathy, but the practical skill of truly getting where someone’s coming from – even if you don’t feel what they feel.
