When I conducted an informal survey of middle to old-age folks representing a range of professionals and tradespeople on the question, Can you have justice without empathy? most answered, "NO! You cannot have justice without empathy." A few said, "I don't know."


How might CEOs answer this question? Does it matter? My informal survey suggests that the public would say YES, it does matter.


CAN YOU HAVE JUSTICE WITHOUT EMPATHY? outlines how empathy can and must serve as a foundation for exercising principled thinking to resolve conflicts in pursuit of justice. Both emotional intelligence (empathy) and cognitive intelligence (principled thinking) are needed to resolve conflicts.


This book is written for students in business colleges and corporate management teams to enhance their ability to make just and fair decisions. Hypothetical conflict scenarios and conversation challenge users to work through conflicts that arise in companies.
