Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Understanding what makes people tick is closely related to having empathy, or the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. A lack of empathy can make it difficult for a supervisor to effectively motivate and manage their team, and may result in low morale and productivity. The other traits listed (high energy level, internal locus of control, self-confidence) are important for a successful leader, but are not directly related to understanding people.
