One of the hardest parts about leadership is giving people hard news.

I've been a CEO, I know.

Sometimes you have to say that your job isn't here anymore.

Sometimes you have to tell whole organizations that there's going to be a new structure to things.

And hard news is, well, it's hard.

It's very important that leaders understand that that is not a good argument for avoiding hard things.

now one of the biggest problems that we have is is misunderstanding empathy

and compassion they're not the same thing empathy is to feel somebody else's pain

and when you're motivated entirely by empathy it becomes a really hard thing to do to do these difficult things

and and you might even be handcuffed and unable to do them

and you'll wait too long when it gets even more damaging to other people compassion is different the greatest leaders are compassionate

Compassion has four parts to it.

Understanding a problem, feeling enough of the pain such that you can actually be in the place of the person affected,

being able to be rational about what needs to be done, and then having the courage to do it.

That's what it comes down to.

Being a truly compassionate leader is what people need.

Their greatest bosses are compassionate, not empathetic.

And why are they compassionate?

Because they love people enough to do what actually needs to get done.

You know what that is?

That's just leadership at the end of the day.

Let's say you're in a situation where you need to downsize your employee base by about 20%.

And that means a bunch of people, including people that you've worked with for years, are actually going to lose their jobs.

If the only tool in your arsenal is empathy,

that's going to be overwhelmingly hard and maybe something you're going to put off and that's going to make things worse.

Compassion is one in which you understand exactly why this needs to be done.

You put yourself in the place of other people such

that you can understand what they're going through You have a plan for how you're going to transmit this information

And actually what you're going to suggest to people who are affected

And you have the courage to get it done quickly because that's in everybody's interests

That's fundamentally superior in every way

Now one quick aside on this

How do you grease the skids a little bit?

The Buddhists talk about having a loving -kindness meditation

I'm a religious person and one of the things

that I've done is I pray for people before I have to do a hard thing.

I pray for the people that I'm actually going to affect in this particular way, and I pray for the courage.

And so whatever your technique is, meditation, visualization, prayer, I would recommend doing that actually before you have the interactions with people as well.

So don't misunderstand what I've said here.

I'm not saying not to have empathy.

I'm saying not to have unaccompanied empathy.

Empathy is only step number two of four steps.

And when you shear it off from an understanding of the problem, an understanding of what needs to be done and the courage to do it,

then it becomes problematic because it's on its own.

It's an unaccompanied virtue, and as a virtue, it can quickly turn into a vice.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
