Ya, all the shit flying would happen in public instead of behind closed doors. Hash the shit out, get it done. Then everyone would get to work.
One other thing I believe would describe the vast majority of the KFers picked - pride. They've been entrusted with the welfare of the country and everyone in it. They wouldn't want to let the country or their colleagues down, and would bust their ass. As their efforts bear fruit, they could feel pride in their accomplishments. As a leader/commander myself, I was always acutely aware of the many trusts placed in me by the American people, via my military chain of command. Kept me motivated to give my best effort at all times, and never let people down.
And people live up or down to their being pumped up or put down. As the one in charge, a huge part of my job would be getting around, being visible, and keeping people pumped up. I know how I responded to leaders who'd pump me up - bust my ass. Believe it or not, the boss who spends his/her time fucking with their people and putting them down puts in MANY more hours at work than the leader who runs interference for his/her people, pumps them up, and takes care of them. As a leader/commander, I rarely went home late. I took care of my people, and they took care of the mission. Had time to help work some of my boss' issues, or think, or do whatever.
