Leadership Style
Leadership and motivation styles vary from person to person, that is why it is essential for managers to know and understand their leadership style and how their particular leadership affects their workplace. Leadership is influenced by many things that is why it is so important to know how and why your leadership style is what it is.

It has also, helped me to realize that compassion is a key piece that is missing in the military lifestyle. Empathy and understanding that people have families and they
