Empathy Leaders understand the need to build strong relationships and create a supportive work environment. When a leader asked an thoughtful and meaningful question to you, then they will discover valuable information about you and others. They listen to understand not just hearing you.

practical. Did not try to be comprehensive, instead focused on the five most important points for each topic. Easy to comprehend.
