To some people,the idea of reading comic books seems childish.To others,comics are nothing more than (41)J of their happy childhoods.But for people who love comic books,they can be a(n) (42)G escape from the realities of modern life.Comics are able to (43)K readers to brightly-colored,imaginary worlds where superheroes fight with super-monsters,where good can succeed over bad,and where heroes can save thousands of innocent people from the"bad guys."Comics are published globally,but Japanese and American versions(44)F the market despite the fact-or perhaps because-they differ in some ways.
One difference is the appearance of the heroes.Manga ([日语]漫画) heroes look smaller,younger,and more immature than their all-conquering American ones who have sport muscles and wear themed clothes.Also,manga heroes rarely look Japanese,and the stories are not typically set within a Japanese (45)D.Conversely,American comic heroes,despite their masks,are proudly American and are admired for their (46)C to defend U.S.cities.Importantly,in Japan a manga creator can himself or herself become a national hero,becoming almost as famous as the characters.
Probably the biggest difference is the (47)H.Up until the 1950s,American comic books were read by both children and adults,with popular titles such as Superman selling as many as half a million copies per month.The (48)A of TV,however,led to a long-term decline in sales so that now the average reader of an American comic book is a teenage boy with an interest in superheroes.In Japan,the (49)E couldn't be greater.There manga sales are still (50)B,reaching as high as 7billion each year largely because readers range from young boys and girls up to middle-aged men and women.A survey by the Mainichi newspaper estimates that 42percent of women aged 20to 49read comics.Manga for men and boys,like the American comics,tend to be action-oriented,while manga for women and girls tend to be focused on relationships.

This can be carried over into the workplace,where employees want their leaders to be more trustworthy.Employees have grown tired of unexpected outcomes resulting from the lack of preparation.They want to be informed of any change management efforts before-not after the fact.Employees desire to know what is expected of them and be given the opportunity to better themselves,rather than be told they are not qualified for new roles and responsibilities.
Here are four early warning signs for you to course-correct when employees are having trouble trusting their leaders.
Lack courage
Leaders that don't stand up for what they believe in are difficult to respect and trust.Too many leaders waste too much of their valuable time trying to act like other leaders in the organization-rather than attempting to establish their own identity and leadership style.Employees know that if their leaders are not savvy (精明) enough to move themselves into a position of greater influence,it will make it much more difficult for them to get noticed and discovered as well.When leaders lack the courage to enable their full potential and that of others,it becomes a challenge to trust.
Self-centered
When a leader is only looking out for themselves and lacks any sense of commitment to the advancement of their employees-this shuts off employees quickly.Great leaders are great coaches and are always looking to help their employees grow.When leaders lack any real desire to coach or'guide the career advancement of their employees-it becomes increasingly difficult for employees to trust them.But when leaders are too disruptive (指手画脚),their employees sense that they are in it for themselves and/or don't trust the talent around them.
Reputation issues
When people begin to speak negatively about their leader,it makes it more difficult for others to trust their intentions.For example,look at what has happened to President Barack Obama since December 2009when his approval rating was 69%.Four years later,Obama's approval rating is at 43%.Many who have followed him for years are now having trouble trusting him.
Every leader must be aware that they are constantly being evaluated and thus they can never grow self-satisfied.When they do,this begins to negatively impact their reputation and the trust employees have in their leadership.
Inconsistent Behavior
People are more inclined to trust those who are consistent with their behavior.Isn't it easy to begin questioning one's judgment when they are inconsistent?When everyone but the leader is on board with a strategy-you begin to wonder if their intentions are to support the organization's advancement or their own.Leaders need to refresh their leadership style before they lose the trust of their employees.
This is what today leaders must consider:how to lead in new ways that focus less on oneself,but more on the betterment of a healthier whole.
