David Kabiller ’85, ’87 MBA on the Business Case for Empathy

“If you cannot see it, you cannot be it.” Empathy runs in Kellogg’s DNA. It’s what enables our community of students, faculty and alumni to take on some of the world’s most complex challenges with open minds and genuine understanding. When combined with the premier business skills taught at Kellogg, empathy has the power to drive innovation and economic growth without losing sight of the humans at the heart of business. The Kabiller Science of Empathy Prize celebrates the work of Kellogg faculty and alumni who put empathy into action. It honors leaders who move empathy beyond a buzzword into real strategy to strengthen organizations and achieve business goals.
