Abstract
A manager is a vague definition of a position one has in the company. The work varies depending on the size of the sector, hierarchy, and the values of the organization. Moreover, the interpretation of what a manager is, and what a manager does, has evolved in parallel to the constantly changing corporate world. Because the corporate world follows the globalization process, many managers are also taking on global responsibilities. They have to work with several cultures at the same time, they have to travel and live in different places, and they have to manage projects and teams that are pitted with intercultural differences. A manager is not employed to give orders anymore but to embrace and conform to a situation very quickly no matter the disparities among the people taking part in the situation. The qualities and skills of a manager have changed, and in today's world, organizations are looking for empathetic managers. What is an empathetic manager?
