Liesl MertesGUEST
And the way that I sometimes also hear it is how do I measure balance empathy with accountability at work? If I embrace one, do I let go of the other? Or even just does empathy have a place in the workplace at all? Does it really affect the business of doing business? And first I want to affirm, it's a good question.

Liesl MertesGUEST
And the good news is there's some really strong data, both just the raw numbers and experientially behind the why.
