Shared Awareness is based on the insight that no one person has or can have all of the information needed to make a good decision. In times of stress, leaders need to confront reality together with the team, transparently, honestly and respectfully. They need to highlight what is working well, seek out who has the best information and identify what changes the team can control or influence. This shared awareness will inform your own priorities and those of the team, enabling people to make effective judgment calls on their own without having to check every detail.
