1.) How would you empathize with someone who experience loss because
someone in their family died because of covid 19?

How you express sympathy for the death of a loved one will depend on
what you feel comfortable with and your relationship with the person who is
grieving. There is no right or wrong way to offer your condolences the
sentiment is what’s important.

 It can be nice to let the person know that you’re there if they need any
support during this difficult time. It’s important for them to feel that they
have people that they can rely on.
It is best to only drop by if you know the person well or have arranged it
with them in advance, as many people want their privacy when grieving.
However, if they have said that they would like some company, visiting
them can bring comfort.

Many of us have sadly had to think more about death and mortality since
the COVID-19 pandemic. While these are difficult topics to deal with,
connecting with others can help people process their emotions, especially
after experiencing a loss. However you decide to reach out and offer your
condolences, the most important thing
is to show your compassion, love, and support.

2.) As servant leader why is it more importance to persuade rather than coerce
someone?

Servant leaders is reliance on persuasion, rather than on one’s positional

authority, in making decisions within an organization. The servant leader
seeks to convince others, rather than coerce compliance. This particular
element offers one of the clearest distinctions between the traditional
authoritarian model and that of servant leadership. The servant leader is
effective at building consensus within groups. Servant leaders seek to
convince others rather than forcing them.

Persuasion, defined as a drawing toward, or pushing toward a goal, is the first

element in our principles that highlights the leader functions of the servant
leader. All others (listening, empathy, healing, awareness) fall more over to
the servant side of the balance.

The servant leader has the grounding to know his influence is helping,
healing, and building, allowing others to shine. It is a substantial leader that
can support this without calling attention back – but worthy of pursuit.
