them, is kind of like chicken running with their heads cut off. There is no direction and no one that they can look to
for support and know that someone is in their corner. I think that this is important in building trust within you team.
Because they know that you can show them the correct way of doing things, each member will know that even
though I may rank higher than them technically, I can be someone they can look to lead them down the correct path
to success. Being an effective leader, you must build on this skill so the team can work and achieve goals together
