They set the example and actively, through their own behavioural attributes, support and the concepts of reliability, consistency, trust and adherence to ethical principles.

Recognizing the employees keep them motivated and enthusiastic towards achieving new goals. 2, what are the traits of an effective leader? Do I have these traits? How would I develop the traits?

...There is a difference in getting a degree than applying for a job with only a high school diploma. The typical work life is from the ages of 24-64. Some people consider school to be boring, not entertaining and a waste of time. In the end there are useful benefits that can come from graduating from college. Not only can you make more money it will also set an example for friends and relatives. Recent studies show that someone that has a high school diploma is three times likely to live in poverty or on some kind of government assistance. College graduates are 2-1/2 times as likely to vote as those who haven’t finished high school. Also those with more education are more likely to exercise than those with less of an education. Half of high school graduates have employer-provided health insurance or pension plans but almost 70 percent of college graduates do. The key to making a decent living is having an education. High school graduates make about 180 dollars more a week than a high school dropout. Employees tend to offer permanent positions quicker to them than work contractors. Getting a high school diploma proves that the student is determined and ready to take advantage of an opportunity. It also prepares the student for work habits and prepares them to build career skills. College can be intimidating, the work seems impossible and parties are endless. Obtaining a degree will help broaden your career choices. It also changes the way of thinking and helps you make more...
