Do as the leader says
Obedience to the leader is a prerequisite for an effective and a result'oriented team. While proceeding for battle, Talut and his soldiers came across a river, and Talut forbade his soldiers to drink its water, except for taking a mere sip. However, most of his soldiers drank from it, and then lost courage, declaring to Talut, 'There is no power for us today against Jalut and his soldiers.' (2:249) In contrast, those who had obeyed Talut were resolute and ready for the battle. Obedience to the leader not only ensures unity among the ranks but also keeps confidence levels high.
