Article: Asking for specific examples of the candidate's experience will probe deeper into a person's capabilities. It will also give you the opportunity to judge if this person is telling the truth about the extent of their experience. The best way to do this is to ask open ended questions such as, "Can you tell me about a time when you led your team to exceed sales goals?" When speaking to a candidate, ask them questions to determine if they would be a strong leader such as: Can you provide examples of your leadership abilities and successes with your previous team? Explain your experience coaching and mentoring others? Have you conducted training in the past? If so, what kind and how? How do you motivate others to be successful? Throughout the interview, ask yourself a number of questions in order to evaluate whether this candidate is right for the position: Does this person have necessary skills to be a leader? Can they grab my attention? Are they confident? Can they communicate clearly? If the combined answers lead you to believe this person is a strong candidate, you may have found yourself a good boss. A good leader should have excellent communications skills. This means that person will be able to express themselves clearly and provide direction to others, with little room for interpretation. A great communicator must be able to communicate well across all mediums so it is important to assess their communication skills during every interaction - including over the phone, in person or by email. Try to determine if the candidate's management style will fit the team's needs. Management style can be difficult to assess in an interview scenario, so the best thing to do is just ask the candidate directly. For example, "How would you describe your management style?" and "Can you provide examples of how you utilized this management style to meet or exceed your team's goals?" During all communications with the candidate, try to develop an understanding of their personality traits. Examples of positive personality traits include optimistic, trusting, humorous, understanding and encouraging. Then, ask yourself the following questions: Will this person fit in well with the team and the company? Does their personality match well with company culture? Can you see yourself working with this person? Do you feel team members will be able to take direction from someone with this personality? Hiring a boss can take some time, and the higher the level of employment, the longer it can take to find the right person. Good bosses or managers can be hard to find because you are looking for a unique set of skills and abilities to do the job and lead a team to success. One person may be able to do the job successfully but cannot lead their team to be successful. Another person may be an exceptional leader but lack the subject knowledge necessary to do the job. Always take your time in finding the right candidate. Making the decision too quickly might result in hiring the wrong person, and this could have a negative effect on your team. The perfect boss for your team is worth waiting for.

Article: Look along the radiator's sides for a small valve closed off by a metal nut and screw. It will be near the top. This valve leaks water when you remove it to let out steam, so have a small container nearby. Turn off the radiator before attempting to open the valve. Make sure it feels cool to the touch. A radiator key is a small wind-up tool, usually made of brass. Set the open end in the center of the valve, then give the key a half-turn. Leave the key in place as the air begins to leak out of the radiator. Radiator keys are available online or at some home improvement stores. Some radiators can be opened with a flathead screwdriver. Try to twist the screw a little. If it doesn't open, switch to a radiator key. Let the air hiss out of the bleed valve. Eventually, water will spurt out with it. Quickly turn the valve clockwise until the flow stops. Then, turn on your radiator to test it. If you have multiple radiators in your home, take the time to bleed all of them. Do this at least once a year to keep them all in working order. Find the small metal valve sticking out of the radiator's side. If you have a thermostatic valve, the control knob will be on top of it. To clear it out, stick a piece of wire into it. Rotate the wire to scrape away any mineral buildup around the vent hole. Use a paperclip to easily clear out the vent. Straighten the clip out and push the end into the hole. Coat hangers and sewing needles are a few other options that work well. Painters often inadvertently cover the vent. If you painted your radiator recently, cut away any obstructing paint with a wire, a small knife, screwdriver, or another tool. Make sure the water supply valve on the opposite side of the radiator is turned off. Then, twist the vent counterclockwise to remove it. Set it in a pot on the stove, cover it with white vinegar, then boil it for about 30 minutes. Reinstall the valve and test the radiator again. If the valve still doesn't work, purchase a replacement online or at a home improvement store.

Place a pan underneath the bleed valve. Open the valve by turning a radiator key counterclockwise. Close the bleed valve after water begins flowing out of it. Clear out the air vent if bleeding the radiator doesn't fix it. Boil the valve in vinegar to clean it if necessary.
