Functional teams make higher-quality decisions and accomplish more in less time, with less distraction and frustration. To overcome problems on a team, the team must be willing to invest time, energy and discipline. For those teams willing to do what it requires, the reward is great.

“Trust is important for a very practical reason: without it teams cannot and probably should not, engage in productive, ideological conflict.”
Fundamental #3 – Achieving Commitment
- Cascading Communication
“When people don’t unload their opinions and feel like they’ve been listened to, they won’t really get on board.”
Fundamental #4 – Embracing Accountability

“People aren’t going to hold each other accountable if they haven’t clearly bought into the same plan.”
Fundamental #5 – Focusing on Results
“Our job is to make the results that we need to achieve so clear to everyone in this room that no one would even consider doing something purely to enhance his or her individual status or ego because that would diminish our ability to achieve our collective goals. We would all lose.”
