“Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen.”
Pete Carroll.

Following these tips is a good beginning. Yet, as a leader, going deeper and beyond can guarantee better results. How? The only way is to align team members’ vision and the business core.
So, assigning tasks brings better results when flexibility guides that process. As a consequence, everyone knows what the expectations are. That contrasts with creating ‘islands’ of responsibilities that separate more than unite.
In this flexible ambient, all have responsibilities, creating chances for collaboration and cooperation. Something that stems when there’s a shared vision.
