I agree with these guidelines except for the second. There is no use having someone who is just going to follow the group dynamic and agree on everything just because they are afraid of being confrontational. In most organisations the real changes come from conflict. Conflict when constructive and directed properly is useful and should not be something we shy away from. Cheers, Nathan.
There is a big difference between being assertive and active, and being confrontational and aggressive.

The point is conflict is not something to be avoided in the business world. Cheers, Nathan
