Good attempt.
Your command over language is good, necessary for writing ethics answers.
Terms have been well explained.
Compassion is a more broad term, so you can avoid saying that it is a precursor to empathy, it involves a sense of empathy, however, doesn’t end with it.
Next part about role in leadership is also we’ll written. Leads to welfare-centric approach- could be exclusively mentioned. Also, you could remember 3D’s that empathy betters- Diversity, dedication and decision-making.
Other points are good. Some examples could be added.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Good attempt.
Terms have been explained well. A small table could be made to improve the presentation.
Role of empathy has also been decently written. More keywords can be used for example, welfare-centric approach, 3D’s that empathy enables – diversity, dedication and decision-making.
Some examples could be used too.
Conclusion is good.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Terms have been explained decently, however, presentation can be improved. You can make a table to pinpoint the differences.
Next part about role of empathy can be written in a pointwise manner to include various dimensions.
Keywords can be used for example, welfare-centric approach, 3D’s that empathy enables – diversity, dedication and decision-making.
More examples could be used.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Nice answer.
Terms have been explained well. A table can be used to improve the visibility and presentation.
Good use of examples. However, the first example is also more related to empathy as the officer wanted to get into the shoes of the children. A better example of sympathy would be offering comfort to victims of accidents/disasters. Recent examples from pandemic can be used too.
Role of empathy in leadership is well written.
You can end the answer with a quote.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Good attempt.
Explanation of the terms is crisp. Good use of graph too.
Role of empathy is also well written. Nice use of examples. Some additional things that can be mentioned- Empathy leads to the acceptability of diverse thoughts (Working across cultures requires leaders to understand people who have very different perspective); it also enables dedication ( examples of efforts during pandemic, Armstrong Pame raising 40 lakh rupees without government aid) ; helps in better decision-making as stakeholder views can be incorporated.
Conclusion is fine.
Keep practicing. 🙂

Hello
Explanation of the terms and differentiation through the use of example is good.
You can make a table for better presentation.
Role of empathy is also written well. Some more examples could be included, role of civil servants during the pandemic, civil servant from Kerala utilising social media as a tool for a citizen-friendly and transparent administration (compassionate Kozhikode initiative) etc. Empathy also leads to a welfare-centric approach, better implementation of government schemes which can be added.
Other points are fine.
Conclusion is decent, some quote related to these virtues could make it better.
Keep practicing. 🙂
