“Compassion is empathy with action”. Brilliant advice from Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn, as he spoke to the graduating class at Wharton. Empathy allows us to feel other’s pain. Compassion enables us to do whatever we can to help alleviate that pain. Neat insight. Unique perspective.
Mr. Weiner also spoke about culture, and how it can be a competitive advantage. Unfortunately, most organizations sacrifice culture at the sales alter.
Mr. Weiner’s convocation address was one more reminder that, on most days, soft skills eat hard skills for lunch!
