Question: When Stephanie looked at the calendar this morning, she realized that she had been in her new position for over three months. Those three months have gone by quickly, and Stephanie feels like her "training wheels" as a new leader are finally coming off thanks to a nice affirmation from Joanne in the department meeting that just concluded. Stephanie received a new assignment that would add some leadership challenges, but Joanne made it clear that she had full confidence in Stephanie's ability to complete the assignment and trusted her to take on the additional work without impacting her other project. Overall this would mean more work for everyone, but also the chance to have a greater and more visible impact as a team. Stephanie's immediate challenge was how best to get her senior team members to buy in, because without their support she would not be successful.
Stephanie knows that having a shared understanding of the new assignment and its importance is important to building unity of effort. In communicating with her senior team members, what other principle of mission command is most relevant?
a. Use mission orders.
b. Build a cohesive team.
c. Define acceptable risk.
d. Provide clear intent.
