“How you behave in your leadership role will impact the final outcome”
“A command and control approach is likely to receive push back from multiple directions and will have limited ability to do either command the direction of the team, or control individuals who make it up.

The more you “police” the work of your team, the less responsibility and accountability they have for their own work. You end up creating a group of individuals and companies who have limited ability to contribute, and are forced to follow orders, defend their actions, and watch out for the interests of their own companies over those of the project.”
