The driver (for example, the Board of Directors, CEO, President, Owner, Managers) makes the decision where the vehicle should be going. However, the road upon which the vehicle travels is built by the work of those throughout the rest of the organization. In order to operate smoothly and continue moving forward, as individual parts of the whole, members of the organization work at honing their talents, gifts and graces so that they can contribute to the building up of those in their organization and those whom it serves (both internal and external customers).

Extending the metaphor, the fuel is a mixture of:
1. individual interpersonal communication skills
2. organizational communication infrastructure and processes
Both of these components either facilitate or frustrate effective communication. I will go so far as to say that any communication, no matter how innocuous it may at first seem, contributes either to clarity or ambiguity when it comes to intented consequences of goal accomplishment.
