The Power of Empathy and Listening

Ernest Hemingway once said that true listening is a rare gift, and empathy is one of our greatest powers. Many of us struggle to truly listen and instead jump in with opinions and ideas too early. The ability to listen and empathize with others is crucial in building better relationships and becoming better leaders. This concept of outward thinking and empathy is explored in the Growth Mindset podcast with Heather Adams from the Harbinger Institute, a consulting firm that focuses on leadership transformation. Understanding others and being curious about their needs and challenges is vital in developing an outward mindset, but it takes practice and self-awareness to consistently apply.
