Compassion means temporarily suspending judgment so that you can appreciate others' perspectives or situations when they are different from your own. To be compassionate you need to be genuinely concerned about the other person or people's needs. You need to think about and feel it from their perspective.
Here's a simple example. When I'm teaching facilitators to work with groups, sometimes they get really frustrated by the group. The group members don't stay on task or they don't keep commitments. When the facilitators get frustrated they wonder why I can seem so "patient." My answer is that I have compassion for the group. The team members are trying to change (which is why we're working with them) and they don't always change at the pace we would like them to. Getting angry at the team for not changing fast enough doesn't help them or me.
If you're working with someone who is feeling overwhelmed by his workload and you don't think he has that much work to do, being compassionate means temporarily saying to yourself, "This sounds really difficult for him. Let me understand how he's thinking and feeling about it. I may be missing things that he sees." It's easy to be compassionate when you agree with the other person's situation; it's more difficult - and more meaningful - when you're compas
Incorporation is the term denoting the formation of a new corporate firm, whether business or non-profit. It is a legal procedure that involves registering a company name and logo. Incorporation of a company has lots of benefits when compared to a company run by an individual or group of individuals. The first benefit, of course, is that your assets are in stocks owned by the public, and you hold a comparatively lower personal liability. This also reduces the p

(For full, ironic effect, the title of this article should actually be sung to the tune that begins, “Have yourself a merry, little Christmas...”)****************************************************************The Oracle of Delphi is credited with having made the famous admonition to all seekers of wisdom, “Know thyself!”It’s still great advice. Of course, when it comes to business and to achieving higher levels of productivity, it is essen
Sometimes people think that compassion means feeling sorry for people and taking care of them in a way that rescues them. Not in our approach. Our definition of compassion means appreciating their situation and holding them accountable. It means sharing all the relevant information with someone even if she may feel bad hearing it. Sometimes a client will tell me, "I don't want to give a coworker negative feedback because it would hurt her feelings." But when you withhold feedback that can help someone change and improve, you take away the chance to change. I think that's cruel, not compassionate.
When I introduced compassion to my work a number of years ago, I was concerned that my clients (some of whom work in scientifically-based organizations) would see it as "touchy-feely." To my surprise and relief, they immediately understood the value of compassion - often because it was missing in their own workplace.
It's hard to have compassion for others if you don't have compassion for yourself. As a recovering perfectionist, I know this well. As long as I demanded perfection of myself, I would take myself to task when I didn't meet my own standards. And I did the sa
