Within the opening processes of gathering information and creating solutions everyone involved must be aware that the entire research project is for the "common good" of the organization as a whole; when this status is understood by all parties involved the processes are cohesive and direct "Based on this literature review, this article sets out to explore the meaning of negative leadership, its antecedents and consequences from the viewpoint of leadership practitioners" (Schilling, J., 2009, Feb).
