Yang: Balancing Between Power And Empathy
It turns out that people lose their empathy once they assume a position of power. (Who’d thought?!) This isn’t just based on hunch, or some social/psychological research findings. A recently published neuroscience study demonstrates such a link in one’s brain (https:////www.npr.org/2013/08/10/210686255/a-sense-of-power-can-do-a-number-on-your-brain.)
