Empathy - Path to Loyalty and Success


Want to highlight why showing empathy is important towards our employees when they are in difficult situations .

Sometimes an employee is facing challenging times due to sickness or financial distress or any other issue and feels the need to talk to someone . There are deliverables or deadlines to be met by such an employee and for us they are most important . 

Yes , it may not be possible for an employer to solve an employee’s personal issues but sometimes being empathetic towards another fellow being is what is required even in an Organization .

Listening to one’s problem by a Supervisor and giving moral support creates a huge positive impact to a subordinate who starts feeling that that his/her supervisor is not just a boss but a good human being too. 

It takes few minutes to provide reference to a Doctor or provide some valuable guidance by virtue of experience as the case may be ,to a subordinate . This needs patience but believe me , this gesture will go a long way in building trust and loyalty amongst the subordinate. 

Let’s remember that only happy employees can create success stories in a  Company


We as Leaders need to set an example of being empathetic towards others in Organization as Life is not all about deadlines ...

KALAIMAGAL SCHOOL ANNUAL DAY FUNCTION – TRULY UNFORGETTABLE

Image
I was invited as a Chief Guest for the Annual Day Function of Kalaimagal school, Pernambut near Vellore  on 31 st March 2018. The school was started by Shri B.A. Balsubramaniam ,91 years old, ( Chief Founder ) in the year 1983 in his home town Pernambut. The school is one of its kind which offers free education to 800 students from Standard I to Standard VIII. The school is currently managed by the Founder’s family. The program scheduled to start at 4.30 pm got disrupted due to sudden rains. There was a disappointment in the faces of young kids who were looking for this very day meant for them. God was kind , rains halted and there was happiness and joy in the environment .   On reaching the venue , I was fascinated by the high voltage energy level of tiny toddlers with smiling faces and greeting me “ Good evening Sir“ from their heart. These children belong to people below the poverty line living in the small town . For them getting food and shelt...

Jitu , the HERO

This is the story of our Cab Driver Jitu who made our recent vacation so beautiful and memorable!  Please read it for yourself and see …. In December 2017 , when we were deciding to go for our vacation , my daughter wanted a place which would have snow fall and peak winter , things which we cannot imagine in  Chennai . Based on this , I did quick google search and the place that I came across as very gorgeous one was Dalhousie in Himachal Pradesh . The beautiful snow fall images of this amazing place made me decide in no time to go for this place with family . With my travel experience of 15 years I created a quick itinerary . Dalhousie is 80 KM from Pathankot and so I hired an Innova from Pathankot to use for all the 4 days of our trip . I enjoy meeting new people and love speaking to them and getting to know about their family and life . Making new friends gives me immense pleasure irrespective of their financial status. Being well versed in Hindi comes across ...

CHEF IN THE MAKING

I was always remarked by my wife that I do not know cooking and that I have a dark future in case she is out of station or sick etc . Last week , suddenly decided to play this match of cooking . I was some how remembering the recent movie called NOTA in which Sathyaraj says to the young chief Minister , “ Aparam ernigitta aatam adirvendi thaane “. ( then why don’t you enter and play the match ) So the cuisine was North Indian Subji Mutter Paneer .I had rough idea of how a  subji is to be prepared . Asked my wife to stay away from kitchen . I am a very passionate person by nature and have always done things where I am being challenged . Moreover my culture is to love doing challenging tasks ... So the cooking started , with cutting of onions and tomatoes and me singing Kishore Kumar songs . I was enjoying every part of cooking process . There were some doubts which my wife happily clarified and the end result was outstanding Mutter Paneer subji ( gravy) . Added a bi...
