    HOUSTON, TX, August 21, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- College and university degrees are great for discerning technical skill and intellect, however in a survey by the Association of American Colleges and universities 93% of employers consider the ability to communicate clearly and problem solve more important within leadership. The American workforce is quickly becoming larger and more diverse meaning that many companies are increasing their management teams. Yorkston Oakmont, a Houston-based sales and marketing agency believe that in order to find the best leadership candidates, businesses should look past what is on paper and review their prospects on a more personal level by understanding the importance of altrocentrism in leadership.

Altrocentric leaders don't rely on their authority to get results. This form of leadership is quickly becoming outdated, with a rise in freelance and flexible working hours it's difficult for leaders to be in charge of everyone on their workforce all of the time. Altrocentric leaders recognize the importance of supporting and encouraging today's varied workforce to help workers reach their full potential.
