What is healthy Tension?

How do we become an effective team? The last time I wrote, I discussed the foundation for trust. Remember the chart. If the Republican Party is going to start moving together as a team, we must lay the foundation of trust. I hope you are being a man or woman that is receiving and giving trust to your fellow republicans.

What is the difference between unhealthy Tension and healthy Tension? Unhealthy Tension pulls a team apart. Healthy Tension brings us closer together. Here are a few thoughts to help us evaluate how we interact as a party.
