Wisdom of Teams, Katzenback & Douglas
TEAM = f(common purpose, interdependency of effort)
leap of faith required
HIGH-PERFORMANCE TEAM (HPT):
HPT is a small number of people
(1) with complementary skills
(2) who are equally committed to a common purpose, goals and working approach
(3) for which they hold themselves mutually accountable
(4) who are deeply committed to each other's personal growth and success
(5) in a way that usually transcends the team.
This type of team
(6) significantly outperforms all other teams
(7) outperforms all reasonable expectations, given its membership.
