B. Believing in one's own intuition over oth-er's views, implementing the new vision immediately, and limiting any evaluation method of the new idea that may be nega-tive
C. Constructing the major idea, getting the entire group to embrace the idea, and en-gaging everyone in the group to accom-plish the vision
