[Archive Interview from Mar 17, 2022]

“An empathetic leader can tolerate friction. The empathetic leader doesn't see friction or pushback or disagreement as a sign of personal failure, but a sign that he or she is dealing with human beings.” MIT professor and The Empathy Diaries author Dr.Sherry Turkle believes the last two years of pandemic isolation has prepared us for empathy, mutuality and principled decision making. Sherry joined Brig. Gen. Dana Born for HOW Conversations where the two discussed radical empathy in the workplace, values-based leadership and Dr.Turkle’s practices for empathy. Sherry also explains an empathetic leadership framework that can aid moral dilemmas when making a decision.

The Empathy Diaries is now available in paperback! https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/bo...
