Cevap
Conduct a private dialogue with the supervisor to validate their emotional strain, temporarily reassign high-pressure tasks, and coach them on empathetic public engagement.
The response prioritizing a private, supportive dialogue accompanied by task restructuring demonstrates key dimensions of Emotional Intelligence (empathy, relationship management, and emotional regulation). It addresses the root cause of burnout without compromising public service delivery or resorting to premature punitive measures.
