		<description>Aunteee - Thanks for stopping by and adding valuable perspective to this discussion. Ultimate job of any manager/leader is to generate trust. 

My upcoming book &lt;a href="http://qaspire.com/blog/?p=661" rel="nofollow"&gt;#QUALITYtweet&lt;/a&gt; has a dedicated chapter on how management and leadership can heavily influence quality of outcomes.

		<description>'A manager who seeks others’ views, even strong disagreement, and then makes and explains the decision, will win respect and intense loyalty from the team.' 

I can't agree more with this statement. I had the privilege of working with two expatriate Managing Directors last 5 years. The first one was from India, he held long meetings but I looked forward to attending them because he encouraged us to challenge one another's assumptions. He could ensure absolute buy-in from his team members for every decision he made. The second one was an America cowboy who used words like "just do it!". He avoided having meetings and shunned details. Once he was challenged in a meeting by the Director of Sales until he had to call for a break to compose himself and guess what he said when the meeting resumed? Yes, "just do it!". 

And no prize for guessing which MD earned my respect till today.
