I believe that trying to understand the other person's perspective is a fundamental value. During my school days, I often heard my friends say that I seemed to lack empathy. I've had my share of misunderstandings and strained relationships in conversations where my genuine feelings didn't quite come across. At first, I thought being honest was the issue, but I came to understand that being able to see things from the other person's perspective and empathize with their feelings is crucial. A key experience was preparing a presentation for a project that analyzed the root causes of defects in semiconductor devices. The presenter faced difficulties in preparing for the presentation just before the scheduled date. Initially, I thought the preparation was lacking, but upon reviewing the team's project's progress, I realized that we frequently adjusted our direction and data, and since the details were only shared among a few team members with the same role, I think it would have been challenging for the presenter to grasp the overall flow. With the presenter, I reviewed the materials, distilled the key points, and provided feedback to ensure a smooth flow during the presentation practice. As a result, the presenter regained his confidence and was able to deliver a successful presentation. From the perspective of empathy, I've come to believe that truly understanding the other person is the foundation for building a relationship. I believe this attitude will be a significant asset in process engineering roles that require seamless collaboration across departments.
