The more you focus on helping your team grow the greater the commit- ment and effort you will get from your team. Managers, however, dance on a fault line – they either have the behaviors that inspire followers to do what they otherwise may not be willing to do, and without creating any psychologi- cal distress, or they do not and the costs will escalate and ripple for a long time. n Dealers are demonstrating confi- dence in GNYADA’s insured pro- gram after having been hurt by the losses in the defunct self-insured pro- gram. The potential for savings and promise of service have also over- come the burdensome requirements and roadblocks thrown up by Safety Group 430.
