I believe that coordinationshould be achieved by managers with the help of merging personal interests with organizationalaims. This harmonization can be achieved with the help of proper and efficient coordinationwhich should be the key motive of a leader (Finkelman 2015).

At the same time, I will make sure that I should display highintegrity as well as honesty as honesty which are the very important foundations for being a goodhuman being (Goestch and Davis 2014).
