Katherine, thanks for the follow up. As you may surmise, I’ve been actively invovled in both academic and business pursuits over my career. I’m glad you see a way to use the thinking here in your own work.

Hope you new year is a good one.

Dear Larry, Thank you for recommending Ralph Stacey’s book. I will be sure to look into it ASAP. I just read “About skilful minds”. Truly a fascinating method in your market & design approaches which I had no idea exsited. Yet, what I find fascinating is that in my search for further information on collaboration in an educational setting. I should your find your perspective equally applicable from the business world into what I am reseraching. thanks,

Hi Katherine,

Thanks for reading the post and sharing your thoughts. I find the whole are of research in neuroscience interesting, even when it isn’t persuasive. If you are looking for interesting insights into the relation of empathy, neuroscience, and group processes I can’t think of a better resource than Ralph Stacey’s book, Complexity and Group Processes. I would have integrated its insights into this post but must admit that, at least for now, I remain unable to integrate its convincing analysis into my own thoughts around empathy and collaboration.

I read your artice and comments with great interest as I have been searching resources about empathy as part of the coolaboration process. With its importance in the 21st centruy business arena, it can begin right at college. My colleague and I have experimented with a colaborative apporoach in our classes (partner / triad combinations to reach a common goal) with first semester students who may not have a clue about working with others to these ends. I also teach the phenonemon of the brain’s specialized mirror neurons that “key” us into the intentions or others & can transfer one;s emotions to another. “I feel what you feel”. look it up.
