e animals they just created.
Then they [the Maya forefathers] said to them [the animals]: “Because it has not been possible for you to talk, you shall be changed. We have changed our minds: Your food, your pasture, your homes, and your nests you shall have; they shall be the ravines and the woods, because it has not been possible for you to adore us or invoke us. There shall be those who adore us, we shall make other [beings] who shall be obedient. Accept your destiny: your flesh shall be torn to pieces. So shall it be. This shall be your lot.” So they said, when they made known their will to the large and small animals which are on the face of the earth.

From the excerpt, I conclude that the Maya forefathers believed it was the fate of animals to be hunted and eaten. The key segment of this text is "Accept your destiny. Your flesh shall be torn to pieces." The forefathers mention they have changed their mind because animals were not able to adore or obey them.

Because animals cannot adore their creators, "there shall be those" who will be able to do all of this. These "others" are the humans, who will hunt and eat animals. Animals will then have to accept their destiny and "be changed," being sent to the ravines and the woods.  

I think that the most reasonable conclusion is answer D.

Researchers at the University of Michigan found that the most effective supervisors were those who established high performance
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

They are called employee-centred leaders.

Explanation:

Leadership is an essential aspect for organizations; the company will always look for leaders who can motivate a group of people to meet the company's objectives. If the person feels motivated by their leader, this will help the performance to be better.

There are different types of leadership; the task-centric leader, the authoritarian leader, the employee-centered leader, among others.

The employee-centered leader cares about his collaborators. He/she is a democratic leader, and delegates the tasks with the members of his group listens to the ideas of his employees and focuses on the interpersonal relationships in the group being well, so that does not interfere in the work environment.

Employee-centric leaders generally help the employee feel satisfied at work, thereby improving their performance. For example, in the case of the University of Michigan research, it was found that employee-centered leaders were the ones who presented the best performance in their jobs.
