Empathy and Understanding in Business

“Empathy and Understanding in Business” explores how the often-overlooked qualities of empathy and understanding are essential to effective, long-lasting business relationships. In a world where these traits were once seen as incompatible with hard-nosed enterprise, the book repositions them as foundational to trust, connection, and sustainable success. It challenges the outdated notion that business must be transactional, suggesting instead that empathy can and should be the backbone of negotiation and leadership.

Christopher Voss, former FBI negotiation expert and bestselling author of “Never Split the Difference”, serves as the guiding voice of the book, imparting how empathy fuels connection and persuasion in business contexts. Drawing from his negotiation expertise, he and contributing experts, including Katie Schuelke share real-world insights and lessons about what worked and what didn’t so readers can skip reinventing the wheel and build stronger relationships faster.

The book also highlights how empathy-driven strategies foster lasting trust and clientele in modern entrepreneurship. Rather than short-term transactions, the focus is on understanding and respect as pillars of enduring business success, echoing Brené Brown’s maxim that “Empathy fuels connection.”
