review 1: A good read on how wide-spread empathy could impact organization performance and what could be done to build it. Book is illustrated with company cases and personal stories to support author's statements.I got out of the book three main points:1. We all have empathy as individuals.2. The level at which we engage it depends on a conscious effort to experience the life of others as well as readiness to act on our findings.3. Companies will make better decisions if they enlist every employee's empathy in the work environment.
review 2: I decided to read this book to document myself for a workshop on innovation. It was recommended in the website of Stanford's D.school. As a philosopher I thought It would be interesting to explore the interplay between ethically loa... moreded concepts such as "empathy" and "caring" and the world of innovation and business. If you plan to read this book I have good news and bad news.The bad news is that you are not going to find practical tips. The book is more a kind of extended argument to foster empathy throughout the organitzation and the multiple side-benefits it has.The good news is that the book is a collection of good business success stories. Most of them are inspirational although sometimes repetitive.It is a well-written book, and that's the reason I've given it 4 stars. And It has also taught me a new word "Needfinding". Cool. less
