The piece they need to know, whether you tell them or they work it out for themselves … what is their contribution. What they bring to the voyage that makes the difference between a straight course and all around the islands.
Your job is to set them off in the right direction. Tell them everything you can about what you want and how you expect them to add value. Tell them the who and the why and the when of their role.
