ABSTRACT

Your best efforts at building a high-functioning team will go for naught if you don’t keep your fingers on your team’s pulse on a regular basis. The reason? Any hiccups on the people side that require midcourse corrections that go unnoticed can quickly lead to waste on the technical side. The one thing you can count on for any construction team is that its dynamics will always be in a state of flux. So, as Bourdain suggests, you need to remain aware and assess any potentially detrimental changes in team chemistry.
