“Empathy is a word that is increasingly finding its way into our business and organizations“
3:20 – Jason introduces today’s topic which is Empathy and its role in our leadership and in business. It’s time to think about the role that empathy plays for all of us. Today Jason talks about organizational empathy and the role it plays.
6:10 – Jason shares notes from friend and fellow speaker and author, John Acuff. Organizational empathy is “caring about what the people you care about, care about.” Are we truly showing empathy with the people around us? Some of the questions we need to ask are:
- Who do we actually care about? Who are the people that we care about? Our clients? Ourselves? Your own advancement? Our employees? Or many, and why do we care about them?
- What do they care about? We cant just care about what we think they care about, we need to take the time to actually learn what they care about.
- Will we get in the business of truly caring about what the people we care about?
Questions to Ponder
-
Who do we actually care about?
-
What do your people actually care about?
-
In what ways can you get into the business of caring about what they care about?

ABOUT THE THERMOSTAT
Conversations and micro-thoughts to engage your mind and heart.
A thermostat is proactive. It sets the temperature in a room. Controls the temperature. Regulates the temperature. But in today’s distracted, fast-paced and digital world, it’s easy for individuals and organizations to act more like thermometers, slipping into reactionary thinking, becoming scattered and inconsistent. The most compelling leaders, teams, organizations, families, or collection of humans of any kind operate in thermostat mode. They calibrate their mind and heart to set the temperature for the vision and culture they want to create. Jason Barger, globally celebrated author, keynote speaker, and founder of Step Back Leadership Consulting, is the host of The Thermostat, a podcast journey to discover authentic leadership, create compelling cultures and find clarity of mission, vision, and values.
