Question

Joe was Steve’s manager at work. In the middle of a busy day, Steve got a call from his daughter’s day care center saying that his daughter was unwell and was asking for him. When Steve approached Joe with his problem, Joe asked him to take the afternoon off. Which quality is Joe exhibiting?
A. sincerity
B. enthusiasm
C. empathy
D. honesty

Answer 1

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS C

Answer 2

Answer:

C. empathy

Explanation:

Empathy is a feeling beyond, it is when one puts oneself in another's place. We can call it understanding. Respect and understand the other person's feelings. Joe was sympathetic to the situation Steve's daughter is going through, and understood that she needed her father, so we can say that he was empathetic and gave Steve the afternoon off.

In order to be an empathic person you need to put your self-centered aside. Egocentric attitudes are considered in the way of understanding the person based on the opinions and conceptions of his self and not from the other person's point of view.
