Remember teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability.

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.

Ego is the ultimate killer on a team

Teams have to eliminate ambiguity and interpretation when it comes to success

Trust is knowing that when a team member does push you, they're doing it because they care about the team.

No quality or characteristic is more important than trust

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

It's as simple as this. When people don't unload their opinions and feel like they've been listened to, they won't really get on board.

Some people are hard to hold accountable because they are so helpful. Others because they get defensive. Others because they are intimidating. I don’t think it’s easy to hold anyone accountable, not even your own kids
