Compassionate
vision should be at the time heart of every
decision a leader makes and is a key to leading people with the tools to
success in their life.
Compassion is
having the quality of “feeling-with” and deep empathy. Nir
Golan, educational and leadership expert creates a new definition for Compassionate
Vision:
Compassionate
vision is based on a feeling of deep sympathy accompanied by a strong desire to
alleviate the suffering, find a solution.
Compassionate
vision comes from Medieval Latin
passiōn- (stem of passiō) and a variant of preposition cum- with. When you
sympathize with someone, you have compassion for that person, and you can build
your vision around it.
Get an initial
understanding of the problem. Doing it right is perhaps the most important of
all the steps. Compassion is taken a step further, where a person feels empathy
and then a desire to help alleviate the suffering/ need of the other
person. Another way to say it is defining the right problem to solve. Having
compassion for another requires one to put the other person first, imagine what
the person is going through, and then consider ways in which to help the person
feel better and cope.
Focus on human
values and needs. Have empathy for the people, solicit user feedback, and use
it in their Compassionate vision. Compassion is taken a step further, where a
person feels empathy and then a desire to help alleviate the suffering of the
other person.
Engage in
brainstorming sessions to generate as many ideas as possible (expand the
solution space).
Create Compassionate
vision and share them with other people.
Test,
implement, and refine the Compassionate vision.
When you
sympathize with someone, you have compassion for that person, but you don’t
necessarily feel his feelings. It helps you to understand the problem, and
generate the ideas. Compassion is strongly linked to the principle of diversity. Collaborate with people from various backgrounds and
respects their viewpoints; enable “breakthrough insights and solutions to
emerge from the diversity to create a better Compassionate vision”.
