Diversity. A great team begins with a diverse bunch of people who all think differently, each bringing something special and unique. Next is a supportive and collaborative culture that brings individuals face to face to understand how to help each other. Third is a systematic approach that helps everyone understand what needs to be done, where they fit in and how to contribute. Fourth is leadership, keeping the objective clearly in view so everyone understands, and ensuring that no one is left behind, unsupported. With these pre-requisites, nearly everyone can be a great team member.
