Command is All About the Balance

Command is all about the balance between inspiring confidence in your leadership and knowing when to trust your people. You got scared out there today. Scared that they didn't respect you, so you ignored advice in order to appear in control. Now, the question is, did you learn from this error? 

Dr. Claire Finn from The Orville "Command Performance"

Leadership and following command is all about the relationship that is formed based on respect. Those that lead need to realize that their followers can have important advice and feedback, while those that follow need to respect and trust their leaders. If you don't have this dynamic then you don't have a functioning team.
