Dave stated "when the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing, strife sets in" - Gossip
Ramsey said gossip is when a negative comment is discussed with anyone who can't help solve the problem - Unresolved disagreements
He said "this happens when a leader doesn't know they exist or avoids confrontation" - Lack of shared purpose
Dave said "this happens when the leader doesn't restate the goal, the vision, and the mission early and often" - Sanctioned incompetence
Ramsey defined this as "keeping an inefficient team member because we feel sorry for them"
