What makes a good Management Team

Team = the set of people who will bring business, and will deliver the promise of the business.

Having a brilliant team is absolutely critical. That the team gels well, and has an understanding that brings resonating results is even more critical.

If the team is full of A list people who cant get along, it is a recipe for disaster. Chilli in curry is good. Chilli in everything is not so good. One needs to "fit" into a team, and the team should be good and complete.

And then, the team should be promising and oozing with potential to make money. Experience, connections, street-smarts, and eye on the collective goal. All are important.

When bringing in people from outside as member of the team - pay special attention to skill sets and attitude. Gelling well is paramount - and I cant stress this enough.

If you just cant get along with someone for all the right reasons, find a replacement, and do all of you a favor by being frank and nice and upfront about it.

May the best teams win !
