"8. Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company.
 
For Educators:
 
* The elimination of fear is an important responsibility of the 
administrator.  Fear can take many
 forms, fear of making a mistake, fear of change, fear of losing one's job, 
fear of lack of
 knowledge, and fear of doing things a new way.  Leaders must create an 
atmosphere of trust and
 mutual respect, a place of security where risks can be taken and where 
learning never ceases.
 
*Where there is fear, important information and opinions will be withheld or 
distorted,
 communication will be inhibited, rumors and negative attributions will 
abound, relationships will
 be adversarial, and distrust will be pervasive.  Leaders must eliminate fear 
in order to lead."
