Introduction Over the years we have seen significant changes in Corporate America, changes that have had serious impacts on both the workplace and consumers. The world out there is a dog-eat-dog world due to today's economic stress. This daily struggle to survive in the workplace has affected the lives of everyone involved as interpersonal skills are declining, especially among business leaders. Is this evident lack of concern for others in the workplace the fault of academic institutions? In the following studies it has been suggested that there is a lack of higher level education regarding the study of emotional intelligence and empathy within corporate leadership programs. Empathy is defined as “the feeling of understanding and sharing another person's experiences and emotions: the ability to share someone else's feelings” (Merriam-Webster, 2014). Emotional intelligence and empathy will be observed in this article as a result of two separate studies, each conducted regarding leadership. Please note that the first article focuses on these issues through a secularist worldview while the second article embraces a Christian worldview. Although the questions are the same, the methodologies are slightly different. Description of the article - 1 The first study will be presented in two parts; 1.) Fundamental research on empathy in leadership, 2.) Opinions formed by a different group based on the results of the first study. This two-part study was conducted among business students over a three-year period and serves to discover why empathy is not an essential part of leadership today. Also incorporated into this article are other literature-based reflections that agree with…middle of the paper…love thy neighbor as thyself” (www.biblegateway.com/NIV, 2011). The only commandment higher than this is that you love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind. God values ​​the feelings and emotions of all humanity, so should we. References Gliebe, S. K.
