First Priority of Leaders.

George Binney, Gerhard Wilke and Colin Williams in their book "Living Leadership" indicates that the first priority of leaders is to" get connected.". By getting connected they mean that:

1. Enough openness and trust to confront difficult issues openly;
2. Enough respect to make people want to work with others and make the extra effort for them;
3. Enough shared values and perspectives to enable effective joint working;
4. Enough conflict to widen and deepen the exchanges and make real trust possible.
