Teams are made up of individuals \u2013 all of whom matter hugely.\u00a0And in order to create high performing teams, we need individuals who show up fully, who have the integrity to do the right thing, the courage to make a suggestion \u2013 or disagree with one, the dedication to commit to team goals even at the expense of functional goals.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard not to let ego or fear get in the way.\u00a0Because a team is much more than a group of well qualified, experienced and hard-working individuals \u2013 it\u2019s a huge number of relationships: The pair that started on the same day, the three that go for coffee together, the four that support the same club, the five that did the charity cycle \u2013 and on and on.\u00a0In a team of 7 people there are 94 sets of relationships (pairs, trios, etc.).\u00a0And the strength of the team lies in the strength of those 94 relationships.<\/p>\n

Team purpose, values, goals all help to build and sustain the team.\u00a0But at the heart of every great team is trust.\u00a0Lencioni talks about trusting enough to allow ourselves be vulnerable.\u00a0And in order to do our best creative work, to float the mad suggestion, to believe in the ambitious vision, to have tough conversations \u2013 we have got to put ego aside and allow ourselves to be vulnerable.\u00a0And we can only do that if we know the rest of the team has our back.<\/p>\n

Creating the environment where each individual can show up fully is difficult work that takes time and real skill. \u00a0It\u2019s the mark of a great leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
