Question

when a leader encounters a follower who is struggling with internal obstacles, what trait should be exemplified in his/her interactions with that follower?
discipline
perseverance
empathy
frustration

Explanation:

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. When a follower is struggling with internal obstacles, a leader showing empathy can better connect with the follower, offer support, and help them overcome their difficulties. Discipline is more about following rules, perseverance is about continuing despite difficulties (but not directly addressing the follower's internal state in a supportive - understanding way like empathy), and frustration is a negative emotion that would not be helpful in this interaction.

Answer:

Empathy
