ABSTRACT

Teams do not develop themselves. They require systematic hard work. To build a successful team, you don’t start out with people—you start out with the job. You ask: What are we trying to do? Then, what are the key activities (to achieve our results)? ... Then, and only then, do you ask: What does each of the people at the top have by way of strength? How do the activities and skills match? ... You identify individual strengths, then you match the strengths with key activities. And position your players to take action.
