The first step is to understand the key concepts. Then you are ready to apply the
concepts to your organization and assess how well your organization is doing
incorporating those concepts. The next step is to identify what you as a leader need
to do to help improve the application and deployment of these concepts in your
organization. Finally, reflect on what you have learned and develop your action
plan.

When asking the questions in the Empathy Profile pick a particular context to help “frame” their
thinking and use that frame throughout the interview. For example, if you are working on a new
expense reimbursement process you can ”set the stage” by asking them to think about the last
time they filed an expense report.
1. Download the editable version of the Empathy Profile Worksheet and the Facilitators
Guide.
2. Identify a representative from a key stakeholder group to interview and complete the
empathy profile by yourself or with your group.
3. Present and explain your empathy map to your colleagues, boss, and subordinates and get
their feedback.
4. Incorporate their feedback into your revised version.
