At a recent office hours someone was asking me how I get a dysfunctional team of different skill sets to work better together.

A speech I've given a few times over my career:

"All of us as individuals are great.

But as a team we stink.

We need to figure out how to work together to rise to our potential together.

By trusting each other and allowing our individual superpowers to fuse together into something larger than any of us could do alone.

But we'll have to work at it and earn each other's trust."
