The word itself is about a century old, and the meaning has actually been in almost continual flux. On top of that, there’s debate about whether empathy is a good and useful feeling that can help us move toward a kinder and more just world, or whether it’s actually counterproductive.   The word was first used in German as “einfühlung” or in-feeling around the turn of the last century. It was used in the context of aesthetics, an area of philosophy.  “It was about ‘feeling into’ things, like forms and shapes and art objects,” said Susan Lanzoni, a science and medicine historian based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and author of Empathy: A History.

They've mastered the art of active listening. 3. They tune into nonverbal communication. 4. They pause.  5. They replace advice-giving with asking questions. 6.

(Empathic Leadership) Stop Workplace Drama With Empathy From www.forbes.com - January 10, 1:50 PM Empathetic leaders find younger workers lacking empathy like never before, yet can adequately build the self-image of their workers of any age by emotionally connecting with their state of mind. This is a retention strategy that doesn’t take long because the nervous system is emotionally reading others hundreds of times per second.Empathetic leaders avoid judgments about drama and instead identify the emotions within.
