Bring this course to your team
See how Thrive delivers enterprise-quality development for SMBs.
Yes. Self-awareness is the foundation, and this course extends it into reading others and managing your responses. Taking them in that order works well but is not required.
How long is the lesson?
About 20 minutes, self-paced, and included with a Thrive membership as part of the leadership track.
Is empathy the same as being soft on performance?
No. The course is clear that empathy and high standards go together. You can understand what someone is going through and still hold them accountable for the work.
