Empathy: A simple buzzword or a shift in the civilized world?

By


"Empathy is not just a buzzword, it's an essential human skill that can have a profound impact on our personal and professional relationships. Studies have shown that practicing empathy can enhance communication, build trust, and foster a more inclusive and positive work culture.

This allows us to connect with them on a more personal level and offer support and help when it's needed.

In the fast-paced world of Generative AI, where consultants solve complex business problems for diverse clients, mastering stakeholder management emerges as a critical skill set. While technical prowess and analytical rigor from MBA programs may be valuable, navigating client relationships and stakeholder dynamics are the difference between success and failure in any program.
