When we talk about the matters of emotions, it's quite difficult to understand. As human emotions are very surprising a times. But as a businessman, you owe it to yourself to get better at understanding how people think. You owe it to yourself to understand fundamental human feelings.

When you know what makes a man tick, you can easily sell your business idea to that person, and get very good response. Basically, having the ability to show empathy simply means that you understand how people feel and the emotions they're going through. That is, you're able to connect to people on a deeper level.

Many people just lack sensitivity - hence they say things that hurt the next man, probably without even recognizing what they've done wrong. And that's why it becomes a matter that you have to set aside time to improve yourself on. You should create time to read and learn more about human emotions and psychology.

This will serve you well as a businessman, because you'll be better able to understand your employees. You can actually connect with the emotions that they're feeling; rather than lashing out at them. Sometimes, you may have a worker that has dropped in their level of performance - what do you do at this point?

Some people will start to shout at such workers, and some go as far as threatening them that they'll fire them. But a businessman who has more empathy will have a sit down with such a worker, and get to the root cause of their drop in performance. Then together they'll figure out a solution to that problem. One of the most powerful ways to show empathy is by listening to people attentively.
