Comprehension:
Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions from 11 to 15.
One
of the findings of the research into successful leadership is the fact that
respect is always a two-way stret. No matter how powerful you are, no matter
what your experience, skills, and accomplishments, you will not be respected by
others if you consistently treat them disrespectfully, Friendliness- that is
treating others politely and showing interest them is a way of showing your
respect for other people, and in return they respect you. If as a manager you
are respected, your preventive maintenance strategy will be accepted as a
sincere attempt to resolve problems rather than a mean-spirited attempt to
cause problems.
As
important as friendliness is, I want to make sure you are not mislead into
believing that friendliness will replace or correct poor managemnet. I have
seen effective managers who didn't use this friendliness element but could have
been more eefective if they did use it. I have seen very friendly managers who
were ineffective because they were not doing effective management things. In
other words, managers who intervene effectively in a friendly way are always
more effective than managers who intervene effectively in a friendly way.
Maintaining a friendly relationship is another part of maintaining work
performance. It also helps you avoid having people try to hurt you because they
don't like you. It might save your life.
Sub Question No: 11
