How can a leader let employees know that their needs matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella believes that empathy is central to good leadership. In his book <em>Hit Refresh<\/em>, he argues that leaders must continually solicit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/employee-feedback\/\">employee feedback<\/a> and listen to their points of view with sincere caring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to understand Nadella&#8217;s approach to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/leading-with-empathy-2\/\">leading with empathy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leading-with-empathy\">Leading With Empathy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The enemy of empathy is detachment and isolation. If the leader always keeps to his office or only associates with his senior inner circle, he will lose touch with the other employees in the company. An isolated CEO will also lose out on chances to get to know both his customers and his competitors better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leading with empathy is about understanding where others are coming from and addressing their needs, <\/strong>whether they\u2019re an employee, a customer, or even a competitor or business partner you may have disagreements with from time to time. Nadella says he places empathy at the heart of every relationship he has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: While research supports Nadella\u2019s view that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tracybrower\/2021\/09\/19\/empathy-is-the-most-important-leadership-skill-according-to-research\/?sh=500265c23dc5\">empathy is the most important skill leaders can have<\/a>, one study suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.aom.org\/doi\/abs\/10.5465\/amr.2017.0387\">empathy can have its downsides for CEOs<\/a>, especially during a crisis. The study argues that being <em>too <\/em>empathetic can cloud a CEO\u2019s judgment by making them too quick to react to perceived problems, overly apologetic even if the situation doesn\u2019t merit it, and slower to address issues in a company\u2019s operational structure. The two sides of the empathy issue thus suggest that moderation and context are key in order to employ empathy effectively.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-listening-to-employees\">Listening to Employees<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nadella believes the CEO must actively seek out employee feedback and be willing to listen to their ideas and concerns with an open mind. He writes that, when he took over as CEO of Microsoft in 2014, he made a public promise to employees that he would listen to others to take stock of where the company was and the problems it faced. He actively solicited employee feedback through wide-ranging surveys and meetings in which he encouraged open conversation and debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Such openness can lead to conflict, but hedge fund billionaire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/who-is-ray-dalio\/\">Ray Dalio<\/a> believes conflict can be productive, leading to the best ideas and decisions. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/principles-life-and-work\"><em>Principles<\/em><\/a>, he writes that you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/principles-life-and-work\/chapter-7#tactics-for-productive-conflict\">work through disagreements and move toward cooperation<\/a> by asking questions rather than making statements, focusing on <em>what<\/em> the other person is saying rather than <em>how<\/em> they\u2019re saying it, and maintaining mutual respect.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nadella also chose to open the lines of communication by bypassing some of the hierarchy and bureaucracy that made it harder for lower-level employees to be heard. One example of how he achieved this is when he invited junior members of Microsoft to what had traditionally been a seniors-only annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-brainstorm-effectively\/\">brainstorming<\/a> retreat. While some senior members resisted the inclusion of the more junior members, the retreat ended up being more productive and dynamic thanks to the presence of fresh ideas and a willingness to listen to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: While Dalio similarly values the ideas and opinions of junior employees, his approach is less democratic. To him, it\u2019s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/principles-life-and-work\/chapter-5#1-look-for-the-best-possible-answer\">give more weight to the opinions of people who have proven their credibility<\/a>. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/principles-life-and-work\"><em>Principles<\/em><\/a>, he describes his firm\u2019s principle of \u201cbelievability-weighted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/methods-of-decision-making-crucial-conversations\/\">decision-making<\/a>,\u201d which is different from weighing everyone\u2019s opinions equally. Believable people are those who have repeatedly succeeded in the area under discussion and can logically explain their process.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How important is it for a leader to have empathy?
