A team can be perfect.
How?
- By unearthing all the talent on the team
- By bringing together and building the capacity to hold diversity ~ different ideas, different perspectives, and different personalities.
Great team members

- Discuss and choose specific behavioral expectations, and hold each other accountable to live up to those agreements
- Set very specific, measureable goals
- Continuously ask for feedback and learn to productively give feedback
- Manage the gifts that they bring to the table, not allowing their greatest strengths to go to extremes and become their biggest weaknesses.
- Put collective success as the ultimate measurement
