9. Assessing the Four Dimensions
Listen carefully
Notice how the Structure

Your Team
As well as using the four dimensions to build
your team, and assign tasks and projects to
the most appropriate people, you can also use
the model to reward your team effectively.
Relational work is often
ignored or undervalued.

these skills at work, at home, and in the
community, you'll be a real asset to the people
around you. You can do it – and now is a great
time to start!

leadership is the art of motivating a
group of people to act towards achieving
a common goal.

means being able to change as
circumstances require it.

dead they are stiff and hard...
Thus whoever is stiff and
inflexible is a disciple of death.
Whoever is soft and yielding is
a disciple of life.
