The story

Looking to level up your leadership game? Here’s something that caught my eye – cognitive empathy isn’t just a feel-good concept, it’s a serious business tool that’s transforming how successful companies operate.

I recently discovered Scott Howard Swain’s “A Practical EmPath: Rewire Your Mind,” and it’s changed how I think about workplace dynamics. Swain breaks down cognitive empathy – understanding others’ emotions without getting emotionally invested yourself – into actionable strategies that make sense in real business situations.

What really works is his concept of “street empathy” – practical ways to read situations and connect with your team during everyday interactions. This isn’t about group hugs – it’s about spotting potential issues before they explode, making clearer decisions, and building stronger teams.

The results speak for themselves. Leaders who master these skills consistently report higher team engagement and retention. Plus, you’ll get better at catching non-verbal cues that signal potential burnout or conflicts before they impact productivity.

The best part? You don’t need to overhaul your entire management style. Swain’s approach focuses on small, practical adjustments that add up to major improvements in how your team functions. For anyone looking to boost company efficiency while creating a workplace people actually want to be part of, this book is worth checking out.
