People perform according to what is expected of them. Exchange is the process of life and the process for development of potential. Openness communicates dignity. The process of setting the platform for an exchange of trust brings mutual honesty and confidence, which will create a model of behavior that becomes a positive emotional and mental support system. It is not a game of tug of war.
Balance is the place for the brainstorming of alternatives.
The leader and his teammates work together to contribute ideas for problem solving. There must be no value judgements on these alternatives. To judge them early in the relationship would only stifle creativity. Agreement is the power of life. The leader and his teammates must work together on a specific plan of action, including timetable, activities, and outcome for immediate implementation.
