I don't know if it can be taught, but you can start by trying to put yourself in other peoples shoes and how they would react to various occurences.

Example: you want to tell someone something negative about them. Would you want someone to say the same thing about you? Doesn't matter wether or not it's true.

Basically, treat others the way you want to be treated, but also understand they might have different needs, emotions, feelings, preferrences etc than you.
