A healthy work environment where communication flows easily between managers and employees is vital to all companies. Conceptual skills on the other hand, involve the use of mental abilities to solve problems in the workplace. Managers who possess conceptual skills use them to identify opportunities for innovation, expansion and problem solving.

Doc is one of the most important character in Cannery Row; he is a good resercher that has no money but has knowledge and knows thing that many people don't.

One of the most important traits of highly effective and successful companies is that employees are happy and have fun at work. Leadership is not assaulting your employees, but to lead your employees you need to motivate by using caring, inspiring, empowering, teaching, growing, investing and your employees will follow and want to contribute. Assaulting as in forcing, criticizing, and bossing your employees around will not only wear them down and unmotivated them but it will exhaust the boss as well. This book is a great resource for my paper because it supports that leaders grow their employees and make them happy.
