Team members have to be focused on the collective good of the team. Too often, they focus their attention on their department, their budget, their career aspirations, their egos.

Experiential team exercises can be valuable tools for enhancing teamwork as long as they are layered upon more fundamental and relevant processes.

No action, activity, or process is more central to a healthy organization than the meeting

Leaders must display their humanness. Those under their authority must be empowered & have the courage to engage in honest dialogue.

Members of trusting teams admit weaknesses and mistakes, take risks in offering feedback and assistance, and focus time and energy on important issues, not politics.

Really great people rarely leave a healthy organization.

Building a cohesive leadership team is the first critical step that an organization must take if it is to have the best chance at success.
