KarriereSPIEGEL: Herr Groß-Selbeck, wie haben sich die Anforderungen, die an Manager gestellt werden, in den vergangenen Jahren gewandelt?
Groß-Selbeck: Die wichtigste Eigenschaft, die man heute braucht, ist Empathie – die Fähigkeit, andere Menschen zu verstehen und für eine Sache zu begeistern. Das war früher anders; da reichte es, Dinge von oben anzuordnen. Interview mit Stefan Stefan Groß-Selbeck, Chefs des Business-Netzwerks Xing, Motivierte Mitarbeiter schaffen das Zehnfache, präsentiert von Manager Magazin und KarriereSpiegel Online, 21. April 2011

Don’t believe anyone who says that since nature is based on a struggle for life, we need to live like this as well. Many animals survive not by eliminating each other or by keeping everything for themselves, but by cooperating and sharing. This applies most definitely to pack hunters, such as wolves or killer whales, but also our closest relatives, the primates. In a study in Taï National Park, in Ivory Coast, chimpanzees took care of group mates wounded by leopards, licking their blood, carefully removing dirt, and waving away flies that came near the wounds. They protected injured companions, and slowed down during travel in order to accommodate them. All of this makes perfect sense given that chimpanzees live in groups for a reason, the same way wolves and humans are group animals for a reason. If man is wolf to man, he is so in every sense, not just the negative one. We would not be where we are today had our ancestors been socially aloof. What we need is a complete overhaul of assumptions about human nature. Too many economists and politicians model human society on the perpetual struggle they believe exists in nature, but which is a mere projection. Like magicians, they first throw their ideological prejudices into the hat of nature, then pull them out by their very ears to show how much nature agrees with them. It’s a trick for which we have fallen for too long. Obviously, competition is part of the picture, but humans can’t live by competition alone.

Empathy is the antidote to epidemic shame.

Shame is an epidemic in our culture. […] Empathy is the antidote to shame.
If you put shame in a petri dish, it needs three things things to grow exponentially: secrecy, [pathological] silence and judgement.
If you put the same amount of shame into a petri dish and and douse it with empathy it can't survive.
