Answer:

Placing yourself in the other person's shoes is the clearest definition of empathy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since childhood, the human being has traits of empathy. However, it is a virtue that must be fostered and lived in adult life. Having the ability to understand the situation and act of the other is what empathy is. Other characteristics are knowing how to listen, having leadership skills, being objective and respecting others, etc.
