Air carriers’ fuel costs are high, and employee salaries have had to increase to keep pace with inflation. “It’s difficult for smaller air carriers to compete in this environment, and that allows larger carriers to raise prices,” says Associate Professor<a href="/desautels/karl-moore"><strong> Karl Moore</strong></a> in an interview with Radio Canada International.</p> Tue, 09 Jul 2024 18:35:34 +0000 admin 8658 at /mbanext50 /mbanext50/channels/news/formula-drivers-are-celebrities-many-shy-away-limelight-357767 <p>Formula One drivers are undoubtedly celebrities, but many prefer to stay out of the spotlight. According to Professor <a href="/desautels/karl-moore"><strong>Karl Moore</strong></a>, while many sports involve team efforts, F1 drivers face the unique challenge of competing solo, even against teammates.

Introverted leaders may listen more, but sometimes lack the ability to inspire. A combination of the two personality types could yield the best results, according to <a href="/desautels/karl-moore"><strong>Associate Professor Karl Moore</strong></a>. “The downside of extroverted leaders is that they often like to talk more than listen,” says Moore in an article in Scientific American.</p> Tue, 30 Apr 2024 17:50:38 +0000 admin 8524 at /mbanext50
