Does too much empathy in the workplace kill accountability?


Listen Later

Justin Dorsey started this conversation off right by sharing a personal story about a boss who was both empathic (I understand you are going through some stuff) and was able to balance it with just the right amount of accountability (and we need you things from you as far as your position here at work).
 
Then Kierra Caissey stunned us with a hard-hitting truth arguing that “sympathy kills accountability way before empathy ever could.” And following that up by putting coddling and sympathy in the same category.
 
Dr Cole Galloway followed up with the idea that robots can hold people to a task but they can’t do empathy (at least not yet). Then he said something I’m going to quote rather than try to summarize: “Empathy is part of that process but as Justin said, we also we need you we need you to do things and that's accountability but actually we need you to be whole and that's that empathy.”
 
Do you think empathy gets in the way of accountability?
