2.3.33 Responsible According to Rue and Byars (1993:155), a responsible person is accountable for reaching objectives, uses resources properly and adheres to the organisational policy. The responsible CEl must therefore be accountable for his actions and decisions at all times. He alone is responsible for the successful completion of his duties and must be held accountable for the resources and processes used to complete these duties. 2.3.34 Self Confident Rncham and Rhodes (1999:110) define self-confidence as expressing belief in one's ability to accomplish atask and select an effective approach to atask or problem. This includes confidence in one's own ability expressed in increasingly challenging circumstances, confidence in one's own decisions or opinions, and the ability to handle failures constructively. Rue and Byars (1993:365) add that self-confidence stems from having precise knowledge and knowing how to use it Maccaleer and Shannon (2002:11) add that self-confidence is a sound sense of one's self-worth and capabilities. The CEL must have confidence in his own abilities. He must have the self-confidence to present a lecture to students, approach prospective student employers, give feedback to faculty members on his performance, etc. Qark (1991:39) states that confidence is an ability to maintain self-belief when faced with uncertainty, pressure or conflict 45

It often happens that the GEL will meet with the GEO of a large company and the technicians of asmall company in one day. He must be able to conduct himself with confidence in all situations. 2.3.35 Self-Controlled Rncham and Rhodes (1999:109) conclude that being self-eontrolled is acting to keep one's emotions under control and restrain negative behaviours when provoked, when faced with opposition or hostility from others, or when working under conditions of stress. The GEL will often have to work in stressful conditions and must have the ability to control his own emotions and feelings. He must stay calm and focused at all times and not give in to negative feelings and behaviour. 2.3.36 Sensible The GEL must be sensible. That is to say, he must show good judgement or have good sense. He must be able to judge asituation correctly and respond or react with good sense. 2.3.37 Sociable To be sociable is to be friendly and companionable.

These people should feel that the GEL is approachable and a "nice person". 46
