Techstars CEO Maëlle Gavet on Applying and Defining Empathy
In this segment, Techstars CEO Maëlle Gavet articulates her definition of empathy in a leadership context. She emphasizes that empathy means deliberately considering how decisions affect every stakeholder involved. While understanding the impact does not obligate a leader to mitigate it, it requires awareness and the option to factor it into decision‑making. Gavet critiques many leaders for skipping the essential step of assessing the consequences of their actions on people, thereby neglecting an empathetic approach.
