Empathy is one of the most underrated skills in management. Those who master it early are almost guaranteed to get into leadership positions. In episode 4 of Talent Tales Season 1, the talent shares moments where they showed empathy in corporate. This just might inspire you to show a little care. This is what they had to share:
One of my colleagues was going through a difficult time in her life. She was struggling mentally, emotionally and physically. To ease her pain I offered take over all her tasks and motivated for her to get 1 month of wellness. I had to provide certainty to the team, HR and management that her tasks will be completed on time and on schedule. I had to work overtime for a month just to make sure that I keep to my promise and let her heal without worrying about work.
Throughout my career, I’ve consistently demonstrated a commitment to delivering excellent customer service, managing administrative tasks, and adapting to new environments with empathy and compassion. I’ve successfully completed internship programs at a school and a hospital, broadening my administrative skills and expanding my professional network while making a positive impact on the lives of those I interacted with.
I used to listen to old mature people when they visited our dealership. They’d talk about difficulties of life as you grow old and the struggle they face. I would assist them and lend an ear to listen, offer offer advise here and there.
