motivation, ethical leadership and performance. Then, conduct the interview

priority with your staff.

g. 
Related
to the previous question, describe how your personal actions (demonstrating
ethics is a priority) have impacted your staff and/or colleagues.

Describe
a situation where you recognized a need to communicate clear expectations for
