There will be moments of correction to get to your destination. It's like sailing - you are never going in a straight line to where you are going. You are actually zigzagging and periodically making corrections to get to your destination. The team works together, with each one doing their unique part to direct the boat in the same direction.

The levels of positive emotions in most organizations are woefully inadequate and leave substantial room for improvement. Leaders need to be very conscious of how their emotions and behaviour impacts their followers. As mentioned leaders need to actively manage the tension between “being positive” and the need to “face reality”.
