Answer:

1. A Positive Attitude

Great leaders know that they won’t have a happy and motivated team unless they themselves exhibit a positive attitude. This can be done by remaining positive when things go wrong and by creating a relaxed and happy atmosphere in the workplace.

Even some simple things like providing snacks or organizing a team Happy Hour can make a world of difference. An added perk is that team members are likely to work harder and do overtime when needed if they’re happy and appreciated.

2. Confidence

All great leaders have to exhibit an air of confidence if they’re going to succeed. Please don’t confuse this with self-satisfaction and arrogance. You want people to look up to you for inspiration, not so they can punch you in the face.

Confidence is important because people will be looking to you on how to behave, particularly if things aren’t going 100% right. If you remain calm and poised, team members are far more likely to as well. As a result, morale and productivity will remain high, and the problem will be solved more quickly.

3. A Sense of Humor

It’s imperative for any kind of leader to have a sense of humor, particularly when things go wrong. And they will.

Your team members are going to be looking to you for how to react in a seemingly dire situation. It would probably be best if you weren’t stringing up a noose for yourself in the corner. You need to be able to laugh things off because if staff morale goes down, so will productivity.

4. Ability to Embrace Failure

No matter how hard you try to avoid it, failures will happen; that’s okay. You just need to know how to deal with them.

Great leaders take them in strides. They remain calm and logically think through the situation and utilize their resources. What they don’t do is fall apart and reveal to their team how worried they are, which leads to negative morale, fear, and binge-drinking under desks.

5. Careful Listening and Feedback

This is far more complex than it actually sounds. Good communication skills are essential for a great leader. You may very well understand the cave of crazy that is your brain, but that doesn’t mean that you can adequately take the ideas out of it and explain them to someone else.

Explain in your own words what Emerson is saying in this first section of the excerpt from “Self Reliance”
anygoal [31]

Answer:

In my own words, Emerson is trying to say:

That every man is endowed with his own proper endowments which lies within him. As a result of that, man has what it takes to do what he wants to do because the power/endowment lies within him. Such man derives satisfaction and peace if he puts his heart to do his best believing himself. But if he doesn't believe and rely on his endowments, and decides to look at another, he soon comes to a point of no peace.  

Explanation:

Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist wrote his essay in 1841 known as "Self-Reliance". The theme reveals that individuals should learn to follow their own instincts and ideas considering their endowments from God. He stated that each individual is unique and must avoid conforming to others.

Write a letter to the headteacher disscusing two reasons why the school should instil moral values ​
tatiyna

dear head teacher,

Good day , how are you and your wonderful family ? (i hope you  and your family are fine.) . my reason for writing this letter is to give you some reasons

why the school should instill some moral values .my reasons are listed below.

Achieve peace of mind. People with character sleep well at night. They take great pride in knowing that their intentions and actions are honorable. People with character also stay

true to their beliefs, do right by others, and always take the high ground. (So refreshing.)

Strengthen trust. People with character enjoy meaningful relationships based on openness, honesty, and mutual respect. When you have good moral character, people know that your behavior is reliable, your heart is in the right place, and your word is good as gold.

Build a solid reputation. People with character command a rock-solid reputation. This helps them attract exciting opportunities “like a magnet.”

Reduce anxiety. People with character carry less baggage. They’re comfortable within their own skin, and they accept responsibility for their actions. They never have to play games, waste precious time keeping their stories straight, or invent excuses to cover their behind.

Increase leadership effectiveness. Leaders with character are highly effective. They have no need to pull rank or resort to command and control to get results. Instead, they’re effective because they’re knowledgeable, admired, trusted, and respected. This helps them secure buy-in automatically, without requiring egregious rules or strong oversight designed to force compliance.

Build confidence. People with character don’t worry about embarrassment if their actions are publicly disclosed. This alleviates the need for damage control or the fear of potential disgrace as a result of indiscretions.

Become a positive role model. People with character set the standard for excellence. They live their life as an open book, teaching others important life lessons through their words and their deeds.

Live a purpose-driven life. People with character live a life they can be proud of. They’re driven to make a difference and to do right by others rather than trying to impress others with extravagance. (Sounds like a wonderful legacy to me.)

Build a strong business. Doing the right thing is good business. Everything else being equal, talented people would rather work for — and customers would rather buy from — companies that do right by their people, customers, and communities. While unprincipled business tactics may provide short-term results, it’s NOT a long-term strategy.

So as conclusion these are really good  reasons why the school should instill some moral values

thank you in advanced for agreeing to instill some moral value into the school.

 

your sincerely

adanna sweetpraise.

hope this helps you

The now famous Carl Sandburg was born in 1878 in Galesburg, Illinois.
ANEK [815]
<span>C is the answer. Carl Sandburg is the simple subject because he is the main focus of the simple sentence ‘Carl Sandburg was born’. ’The now famous Carl Sandburg’ is a complete subject. ‘Was born’ is the simple predicate and ‘was born in 1878 in Galesburg, Illinois’ is the complete predicate.</span>
