Here the leaders have changed their approach slightly, that they have clearly and transparently explained to each of their member what all responsibilities they have and how much authority they can exercise. They have been given their id cards based on the work allocated so that none of the outsider would be under impression of wrong authority. Each member of the team has been allocated certain designation for dealing with customers handling so that all must be know what they are supposed to do, and customers should also know to whom to approach.

This way control of freedom and adequacy is achieved as extra of everything is bad. Therefore, this must be control and in limits.
