An engineer shares how he learned to build empathy as a core skill, not a natural talent. He practices listening closely, watching how others react, and imagining decisions from their perspective. Becoming someone you'd want to work with means understanding what drives different people.
No matter if you're an engineer or a manager, empathy is and will be one of the key skills in the engineering industry. We will break down how important empathy is in this video. I wasn't the most empathic person when I started my career as engineer. I always had a good feel for people in general, but with empathy, I needed to develop it. Listen closely, try to feel what, what others feel, try to observe their reactions. Anytime you're talking with someone. The second thing is be someone that you would love to work with. You can't go wrong if you always have this in mind. Every action that you do, every decision that you make, think about how it would feel if you were on other side. Understand people in general, uh, different cultures, different kind of motivators, behaviors, etc. If you wish to learn more, you can subscribe to my newsletter. It's called Engineering Leadership.
