I felt badly wronged in the ISDG games CFC team by some Soviet leadership style.
This is my therapy to lead a team in an open, informative (to my team that is) and democratic manner, with most decisions polled. For example, I liked how Rik lead our team, but not his predecessor, and this is where I am at. By doing the right things, you are undoing the culture of the negative ones. Internally, we have a great, nice congenial tone, void of condescending Soviet style apparatchik gloating and with respect for individual contributions and alternative ideas.
Also, I encourage long term planning and some consistency of thought.
