Effective Management

1. What are the characteristics of effective managers?
2. What traits should a manager use to foster enthusiasm in the workplace?
3. Provide me with examples of your own experiences. (Make them up!)

I am looking for insightful and complete responses.  The paper should be a minimum of one page (not including the cover sheet and References page) and submitted as an attachment in Microsoft Word format.  References to all assigned articles should be included within the paper.  Please remember to state each question before you respond.  Also, APA citation and formatting must be adhered to, including listing the assigned articles on your References page.

Here are the sites that need to be referenced:
