We throw the word “team” around a lot in the business world. Are you on the team? Is he a team player? Building the right team is important, but there is no blueprint that shows you how to do it.
Business leaders like the team concept of people working together for a common goal. But good teams are rarely made up of nameless, faceless participants. Great teams have to have a few star players to achieve success.
Occasionally people trumpet the idea of an all-star team, but stars in every position—many with big egos—rarely succeed. Do you expect to see good baseball played in this week's Major League Baseball All-Star Game? Of course, not.
