Answer: 1

Comprehension:

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions from 11 to 15.

One of the findings of the research into successful leadership is the fact that respect is always a two-way stret. No matter how powerful you are, no matter what your experience, skills, and accomplishments, you will not be respected by others if you consistently treat them disrespectfully, Friendliness- that is treating others politely and showing interest them is a way of showing your respect for other people, and in return they respect you. If as a manager you are respected, your preventive maintenance strategy will be accepted as a sincere attempt to resolve problems rather than a mean-spirited attempt to cause problems.

As important as friendliness is, I want to make sure you are not mislead into believing that friendliness will replace or correct poor managemnet. I have seen effective managers who didn’t use this friendliness element but could have been more eefective if they did use it. I have seen very friendly managers who were ineffective because they were not doing effective management things. In other words, managers who intervene effectively in a friendly way are always more effective than managers who intervene effectively in a friendly way. Maintaining a friendly relationship is another part of maintaining work performance. It also helps you avoid having people try to hurt you because they don’t like you. It might save your life.
