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.

Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage, both because it is so powerful and so rare.

Building a strong team is both possible and remarkably simple. But is painfully difficult.

Like a good marriage, trust on a team is never complete; it must be maintained over time.

Great teams do not hold back with one another. They are unafraid to air their dirty laundry. They admit their mistakes, their weaknesses, and their concerns without fear of reprisal.

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