Use empathy when and where you can, when the optempo allows it. The impressions it fosters will pay off when you're in a heated operation and there may not be the time to inquire into how your instructions might make a person feel. If anything, it will even further convey a genuine sense of urgency.

What if there was a way of teaching tactics that also fostered the development of empathy?

"Empathy, however, asks only that the person who empathizes be able to look at a given situation from the point of view of another person."

Hmm. That's the first definition of empathy that makes me think I may have it.
