Knowing what’s expected is more than a job description. It’s an understanding of how one person’s role fits in with what everyone else is supposed to do — and how those expectations change when circumstances change.
Excellent performance occurs when people are deeply attached to a sense of purpose in their lives. When employees feel their job is important, they want to do more of it.
When people feel a connection between the work they do and their personal mission, they’re more likely to stay with an organization and feel like they’re an integral part of something bigger than themselves.

What’s the single most dangerous situation for motorcyclists? Cars making left-hand turns. This accounts for 42 percent of all accidents involving a motorcycle and car. Usually, the turning car strikes a motorcycle going straight through an intersection, passing the car or trying to overtake the car. The motorcycle’s smaller size makes it less visible to the driver of the turning vehicle.
Motorcycle accidents don’t necessarily happen more frequently than other types of accidents. But they’re more likely to result in serious injury or death.
Being a defensive driver means looking out for motorcyclists — and all vehicles.
That’s smart safety!
