Cevap

The correct responses are conducting a private debriefing to validate stress while addressing root causes, and temporarily reassigning routine workloads alongside supportive mentoring.
Empathetic administrative leadership relies on recognizing subordinate distress, offering private psychological safety, and providing structural workload adjustments. Both conducting a constructive private debriefing and offering temporary workload relief demonstrate high empathy, self-regulation, and effective relationship management.
