Not dictating or micro-managing a group requires self-directed group members who are ready and willing to explore what we know; what we need to know; and how will we find out what we need to know. This holds true for a marketing team, too! Independent workers on a marketing team must be committed to contributing to pieces of project puzzles. This takes a special type of person; someone who is mentally agile, willing to take risks, and comfortable with ambiguity.
