Any individual can be placed in a position of leadership. For example, you can walk down the street, hire the first person with a bachelor’s degree and position them in a management role – something I wouldn’t recommend – however, placing that person in a position of power doesn’t ensure that they will make a good, or even effective leader. Hiring managers want leaders to hold more than a piece of paper; they want them to be socially influential, charismatic, and most importantly, a leader that can utilize their attributes to bring the parts of the whole together. In other words,...

When people quit looking for jobs at the employment offices, after months or years of futility, the government stops counting them as unemployed.
