The 5 People You Meet in Great Teams
Posted On November 29, 2020
I’ve learned a few things along the way. What I have found is that a great team is not made up of clones of the highest performer, but of a variety of people and personalities. Great teams support each other, challenge each other, play off of their individual Strengths and weaknesses. Below is a short list of key personalities that provide the framework and foundation for top tier teams. Seek them out, build them up, and remember…
“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”
― Phil Jackson
