Being a team player is not about singing Kumbaya
Being a team player is not about singing Kumbaya. It’s about figuring out what the group needs and then listing everyone’s contributions. Unleashing hidden potential is more than having the best pieces it’s about having the best glue.

In the book
The best teams are not the ones with the best thinkers; they are the ones that unearth and use the best thinking from everyone. Unleashing a group is less about having the best pieces than about having the best glue. And so the price of wearing the leadership jersey is the courage to speak up — especially when you see something wrong. — Leadership & Business (Leadership/Business)
