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,
