It's important to remember that your way isn't the only way. By allowing others to take their own approaches to work, you'll go a long way toward repairing a strained relationship today. Of course, it's important to implement safety precautions, but beyond these common-sense rules, people fare best when they're allowed to use their own judgment. By demonstrating faith in your colleagues and loved ones, they'll probably surpass your expectations. Think back to a time when a teacher, coach, or mentor encouraged you to develop your own style and follow their lead.
