Avoiding Mutiny

You are the captain of your ship. Unfortunately you are the only one that thinks that. The crew has become unruly and overcome with scurvy. A mutiny is brewing. Without some quick thinking, and maybe a lemon or two, you are headed for the long walk off a short plank.
The good thing is it's not too late. You can always get the crew to come around to your side. Ask yourself why this has happened. Why won't they swab the decks and load the cannons? Are they incapable? Have you been too easy on them and now they walk all over you? Maybe too hard on them to the point they feel like nothing they do is right so why bother? it's good to bring the crew together and let voices be heard. Break bread pass out the lime wedges and air out things that have been bugging you. Then let them have a turn. Let them be frank without recourse. some things may be hard to hear. That's okay. Once everyone has had a chance to speak, it's time for you, and the crew, to come up with solutions together. The crew does have a hand in running your ship. For that they should be heard and respected. With the knowledge that you give the orders and they must be followed.
