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.
It’s so comforting to know the skin-suits are trying to learn.
CEO: Become Human
Most CEOs are sociopaths so that tracks.
This sounds like what an AI would come up with when it’s trying to be deep
But some are naturals in it. People with status/high positions often unlearn it. So i guess it’s rather the reverse.
Btw: 2/3 of people in similiar positions like Satya have no empathy but are good in faking it.
Well, they’re paid to ignore it and press on with business.
Easier to pay one who just doesn’t have it. A shareholders dream.
This year, Microsoft announced they wanted to cut 10,000 jobs. They are in the middle of linked in layoffs right now.
Its pretty telling how difficult it was for him to develop empathy for his son’s health struggles instead of bemoaning his lost plans. I wonder how difficult he’d find learning the concept of personal accountability
2023, took away annual inflation raise for the entire company during one of the worst years for inflation. Went to the board of directors and got himself a huge increase in his salary.
Alternate title: Microsoft CEO doesn’t know what “soft skill” means
Axel Springer owns Business Insider, that’s why they are reporting it.
In Germany Axel Springer also owns Bild, which is very similar to Fox news. And it owns Welt, which is Bild in a business suit.
“It’s not soft! It’s difficult!”
Wuuuuuuut
That’s not what “soft skills” means, Satya.
This person has trained themselves to suppress their empathy or perhaps they have empathy for this stockholders. They laid off a ton of people this year and more will be coming after their huge acquisition.
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
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.
And words are free to say, ya know. lol
