The testing of a new leader phase

Remember that for a while a new group has to test a new leader's patience, endurance, tolerance and limits.

• This usually takes a couple of months. This is, then, an argument against rotating leadership, without some constant leadership. They may never get beyond the testing stage, which is unpleasant and unproductive.
• This period tends to be unproductive and disruptive.
• All the standard rules about about setting boundaries and how to handle breaches of these boundaries need to be observed.
• Do not expect them to be this way forever. You just have to successfully survive it.
