Managers should be the model of how the ideal employee acts, thinks, and behaves. Managers form the cornerstone for productive employees. For our company to lead in the global market, we will need productive, engaged employees who have taken the initiative from management examples.
Managers should be well informed. A knowledgeable manager will be better equipped to lead a productive department. A manager with either personal knowledge or access to information will lend his/herself to be a better source for stability in a time of change and transition.

I am asking all leaders to take a proactive approach and seek answers to your own questions before the need to answer employee questions arises. This leads me into the area of
