Poor leadership teaches people to be insensitive, unfeeling and thoughtless of co-workers, and cohorts (Ruark, 2005). Most employees like their jobs but not the way they are treated by leadership, management and cohorts (Duff, S. 2009). As public and private organizations continue on the path forward into the 21 century there is a need for skilled manager, knowledge workers, and leaders.
