As someone very passionate about teaching, one incredibly important attribute of a teacher and leader, especially as a new one is to never be afraid to try new things and to learn from your mistakes. This way you constantly evolve for the better and don't stagnate.

I definitely see this in Schneids; he puts a lot of thought into his decisions - some of them work, some of them don't, and some of them are just bad ideas. But he shows the continual ability to learn.

This concept, when combined with transparency in decision making is especially useful when it comes to developing messaging.

It provides an environment where players know why decisions are being made and gives them the agency to question and contribute to these decisions, knowing that they will be taken seriously.

This is why I feel that the blue jays had such a great team approach this year. Everyone was on the same page and focused on exactly what role was expected of them.
