Over the past 25 days, we’ve broken down the blades of our Leadership Intelligence fan. As a review, the key to empathy (which is the deepest level of relationship aside from intimacy), is:
- Knowledge of Self – my motivation, values, drivers, fears, trigger points, etc.
- Management of Self – my ability to stay in control of my emotions.
- Knowledge of Others – the motivators, values, drivers, fears, and trigger points of others.
- Relationship Management – My ability to relate enough to have meaningful interactions with others.
Which leads to empathy, my ability to see things from your perspective and work alongside you, deepening the relationship.
As The Boss, the key to getting anything done is to build rapport with others. Take some time throughout the year to revisit these 25 Days of Holiday Gifts for The Boss. It’s not just a Christmas thing. These work year round.
