I can’t remember what event I was at, but I remember the comment, “Employees aren’t the same as customers.” It’s true, they aren’t the same.

As a leader, it’s likely that a can-do, never-give-up attitude helped drive your success. It’s possible that a soft skill like empathy, which should be considered an essential skill in leadership, wasn’t ever on your radar. But empathy can have powerful results – for you, your employees and your business. It’s all about perspective. To be empathetic, you need to go beyond caring for others – that’s what we call sympathy.

Extroverts are extremely social; they enjoy large gatherings and love frequent communication. Hence, it’s very easy for extroverts to always be in the spotlight. Regardless of the attention extroverts get, building a successful organization requires more than just extroverts.

Measuring the emotions of your human resources can feel elusive by comparison, so it’s easy for someone who loves numbers to just put the matter aside. The fact is, though, that the functioning of your human capital has as much bearing on your bottom line as do your shipping rates or insurance premiums.
