Empathy: Understanding Others
Empathy is where emotional intelligence turns outward — and where it becomes genuinely useful to everyone around you. It's the difference between an engineer who "wins" a design debate by being loudest and one who understands what each person actually needs and finds a solution everyone supports; between a code review that makes someone defensive and one that helps them. Empathy isn't sentiment. It's the practical skill of accurately understanding what other people think and feel, and it's the foundation of every effective interaction.
