{{a| | {{a|mgmt|{{image|khaleesi|jpg|}} }}To paraphrase Rasmus Hougaard,<ref>''[https://www.forbes.com/sites/rasmushougaard/2020/07/08/four-reasons-why-compassion-is-better-for-humanity-than-empathy/?sh=51543a0bd6f9 Four Reasons Why Compassion Is Better For Humanity Than Empathy]'', Forbes, </ref> to [[empathy|empathise]] is to ''join in'' with someone else’s suffering without necessarily doing anything to ''help''. To be [[compassion]]ate is to ''recognise'' suffering, but step back from it and ask “how can I help?” | ||
We are not sure that “compassion” is quite as good an organising principle for leadership as “''dis''passion” but, as Hougaard frames it, it certainly works better than “empathy”. | We are not sure that “compassion” is quite as good an organising principle for leadership as “''dis''passion” but, as Hougaard frames it, it certainly works better than “empathy”. |
