Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says empathy isn’t a soft skill — it’s actually ‘the hardest skill we learn’::Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella talked about the importance of empathy as a skill in the business world while accepting the Axel Springer Award in Berlin.
I feel like he’s telling on himself. I think for most people having a sense of empathy is the default, and learning how and when (if ever) to ignore that feeling is the hard part.
You guys just don’t understand how hard it is to make yourself think of other humans as important. This takes practice and effort! I spend 10 minutes a day thinking of how other people might feel and it’s exhausting. Anyway, the spreadsheet numbers are smaller than they used to be, so I’ll just do a round of layoffs.
Microsoft ceo + empathy doesn’t seem right
Almost any CEO + empathy doesn’t seem right.
At least 20% of people in executive positions are psychopaths. Literally psychopaths. Not sociopaths, full on psychos.
I can almost guarantee that the Venn diagram of psychopaths and executives at Fortune 500 companies is a circle.
Idk empathy came a lot more naturally to me than fucking technical writing and calc. It’s just giving a shit, you were supposed to learn it by kindergarten
It’s hard if you’re a sociopath, which is a prereq to being CEO
Nah, successful sociopaths understand and perfectly emulate traits like empathy, often better than those who actually experience such traits.
I have a family member who almost certainly has antisocial personality disorder and your assessment is dead on.
says the CEO of a company which laid off 10,000 employees in January
Most CEOs are sociopaths so that tracks.
I finally found out who is the Microsoft CEO lol
Steve Ballmer era was crazy.
Steve Ballmer was crazy.
Why lol
I don’t know much about him tbh, but whenever you’re talking about Steve Ballmer you have to mention the “Developers” video: https://youtu.be/XxbJw8PrIkc?si=wo_5LMsM4k-lKhBq
Also the Ballmer Peak is funny: https://xkcd.com/323/
Ever notice how he constantly sounds 17? Even with the constant voice cracking like he’s still going through puberty
Alternate title: Microsoft CEO doesn’t know what “soft skill” means
“It’s not soft! It’s difficult!”
Wuuuuuuut
LinkedIn did layoffs 48h ago
That’s not what “soft skills” means, Satya.
Congrats for functioning at minimum human level, I guess?
So the guy’s name is basically Satay Nutella and nobody realised he’s nuts?
Fucksake guys
