RESUMO
The purpose of this article is to provide leaders with a tool to collect accurate data of subordinate's perceptions. Leaders in the nursing profession must feel comfortable and be encouraged to seek the opinion of the staff they serve. Without actively seeking the feedback of subordinates there is no opportunity for personal growth and insight. So, while asking for staff feedback can be a "daring adventure" for any leader, leading staff who do not want to follow will result in an organization of "nothing" in today's health care arena.

Excessive drooling in severely retarded students is a common classroom problem. This report presents a short, easy-to-execute correction procedure consisting of cleaning up saliva and pressing a tissue under the lips to decrease drooling. The procedure was used with a severely retarded girl who did not have any severe motor deficiencies. The procedure includes praise for a dry face. The procedure did decrease drooling, and the results were maintained over a 3-month period.
