I like the way that you come from an outside example (Obama and the new SCJ having empathy), lead into tightrope walk of empathy for a leader being a balance (so true in that you can veer from Forceful, to Thorough, to Group Effective in your dealings with others), and end up backing your argument with research how humor is the leadership tone that most people respond to positively. If only SCJ had time for humor in the courtroom! -Anthony P.

When you think about it, it makes sense that keeping those on the front line - the one who deal directly with customers [not to exclude those behind the scenes] - happy, will make for a better customer experience and engender the loyalty that all businesses seek from the customers. Thanks again. Hey Allen,

Thanks for reminding me about this! I also agree with you that managing democratically or by concensus is a better way to form a strong team,and to use humor to put your team at ease so they can perform at their best when under pressure. Enjoyed this post very much (what is your email address anyway?) Hi Nina:

I couldn't agree more...some people are naturally good at showing empathy and those that are not naturally gifted in this area, must learn to do so if they are hoping to be successful teammates, managers, leaders.

You make the point well that we not only need to care about the people on our team, but also show that we care. Some people do this naturally. Other show they care by learning behaviors and developing habits that demonstrate it. Great post, Nina.
