Answer to Question 1

Patience-urgency: Leaders have a sense of urgency about pursuing the vision so that no opportunity goes unused. This focuses their minds on the top priorities. At the same time, leaders need a degree of patience with the process and the people they are leading.
Leadership weaknesses: It is one of the paradoxes of life that good leaders rise to the top in
spite of their weaknesses, while bad leaders rise because of their weaknesses.
Clearness of vision-flexibility: Leaders who are clear in their expression of the organizational vision will garner support for the vision. However, clearness of vision creates rigidity and may be impractical for implementation.

Answer to Question 2

Exclusion is another kind of workplace discrimination where certain people are excluded from job opportunities, social events, discussions, or informal mentoring, and it can occur unintentionally.
