empathy plays a role in my life best with my 18 month old. a big chunk of what i have for him is empathy. it has helped me to understand what he needs with a communicaton barrier in place and that his emotions are real to him.
having a vision into another's perspective or need gives you the ability to create something impactful for their world.
empathy is important in a team environment because a team must understand one anothers perspective(s) to resolve conflict, achieve goals and meet deadlines.
i once had a teammate who litterally needed to have weekly vent sessions to be able to function. he was vital to the team , needed to be heard and i had the capacity so, i listened to him until he was done and then we would get back to work.
i find it hard to be empathetic when a teammate repeatedly makes mistakes and doesn't care to take the proper steps or advice to learn from them. i could probably apply more patience in this area to make things better.
