Where are we trying to end up?
Drawing upon both her military and corporate careers, Rach Ranton explores a central principle in group dynamics: As long as we all know what we're trying to accomplish, it doesn't matter exactly how we get there. Armed with a stockpile of lessons, she encourages leaders to adopt the best practices of a well-oiled unit.
