Which do you prefer? If you are a manager, how would you describe your own management style? (4-6sentences) teodorasinca https://padlet.com/teodorasinca/81mzx9vweinybv30/wish/2077824461 I don't know if I've ever had a managerial style, but I think that when I was younger, I developed an autocratic style. If I were a manager, I would adopt a democratic style of leadership, as I believe that everyone should have a voice in the workplace. As a manager you have to tell employees what is wrong because feedback in a company is very important. The development of the company depends on the interaction between the manager and the subordinates. Most of the time, it's better to work in a team to find the most efficient method to solve a particular problem.]]> 2022-03-04 12:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/teodorasinca/81mzx9vweinybv30/wish/2077824461 teodorasinca https://padlet.com/teodorasinca/81mzx9vweinybv30/wish/2090171644 Manager - supervises a group or team of people in a company

 One of the most famous CONSTRUCTIONS in the world must be the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It was built between 1887 and 1889 by Gustav Eiffel, whose design was the WINNING entry in a COMPETITION for a new monument for the Paris EXHIBITION held in 1889.
The huge iron tower was an AMBITIOUS idea for its time and it was the TALLEST building in the world until the 1930s. It is CENTRALLY situated in an area called Champs-de-Mars, and you get an amazing view of the SURROUNDING city from the top.
SURPRISINGLY, not everyone is impressed by the Eiffel Tower, and it has received a lot of CRITICISM from many Parisians who think it is ugly and UNATTRACTIVE. But for the thousands of tourists who visit Pars every year, its POPULARITY will always remain assured.

The star, Kepler-90 is over 2,500 light years away and larger and hotter than our sun. It is the first star KNOWN (KNOW) to have as many planets as our solar system.
The Kepler-90 star system is much more compact than our solar system. The outermost planet orbits the star at about the same DISTANCE (DISTANT) as the earth orbits the sun. Its inner planets are small and ROCKY (ROCK) while the outer ones are larger and made up of gas.
The NEWLY (NEW) discovered planet, Kepler-90i , is the third celestial object in the star system. It is probably similar to our earth, but because of its CLOSENESS (CLOSE) to its home star has an average surface temperature of about 400° C. It moves around the star once every 14.4 days.
The findings were made BASED (BASE) on data provided by the Kepler Space Telescope. Launched in March 2009, the telescope has CONSTANTLY (CONSTANT) been scanning certain sections of the universe in search of new stars and PLANETARY (PLANET) systems. Up to now, over 2,000 new worlds have been discovered.
To help analyse the data, NASA has been relying on artificial INTELLIGENCE (INTELLIGENT) software supplied by Google. This software examines weak signals of light when objects pass in front of a star. EXPECTATIONS (EXPECT) at NASA are up as this new method of EXAMINING (EXAMINE) data is expected to reveal even more new planets in the future.]]> 2022-03-30 07:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/teodorasinca/81mzx9vweinybv30/wish/2120985422 Imagine an employer doesn't want to see your résumé but wants to know about your potential.
