Q.1 The article mentions that negative leader power can be eliminated simply by communicating that every team member is individually instrumental to any task. When have you found this to be true, or not?
Q2. Assuming you wish to retain the negative high power leaders, what have you used to have them see the ‘WIFFM for them’ and urgency such that they personally get that they have to change?
