    People think what kind of leader is better to create a good work environment.

    For this
    purpose, there is the leader who only orders, while on the other hand there is the emphatic
    leader. In fact, one of the most important facets of empathy in leadership is listening. This
    means giving space for people to voice their opinions in an honest way, without risk of
    repercussion. In this way, leaders can listen to all opinions and then make a decision. So, this
    type of leader generates better work environments. Therefore, in the following lines,
    arguments will be shown to demonstrate this.

    First, empathy in leadership is one of the keys to success of a modern firm like The
    Fortune 500 company, small start-up, or non-profit. An empathetic leader can be increase
    worker satisfaction and company productivity. Although, beyond developing personal
    connections and being empathetic for being a good person, empathy is important in leadership
    at work because it increases team members' trust, communication, and sense of worth.
    Furthermore, A positive work environment contributes to greater employee retention and
    greater output or rates of success.

    However, there are the downsides of empathy. Over the years, Leaders have realized
    that empathy is crucial in leadership. While that is true, they must be aware about the
    emphatic leader, since it has a potential to do great things, but it can cause harm too.
    Moreover, when you involve your emotions into decision making, they may be short-lived.
    Also, if a leader was trying to empathize with their people without constructive feedback or
    action, situations became worse. Then, the decisions that the leader can make are limited.
    Also, when it comes to forming diverse teams, people may be affected by empathy when it
    comes to work assignments and positions within a company.

    To conclude, it should be clear that the importance of empathy in leadership cannot be


    overstated. It is often the key to a company’s arch of success or spiral towards failure.
    However, it is important not to take the idea of empathy hyper literally, believing that people
    should take on and bear another's pain. Therefore, there is no wonder that increasing research
    on corporate leadership points to the same answer: empathy is the most important leadership
    skill.
