Five elements of a great team.

Hello!

What qualities does a great team possess, one that can land a box of eggs safely on Mars?

Courage, Integrity, and Empathy these I need to watch for daily.

A fourth quality, Scott Peck, calls it "balance" in his book "The road less travel." However, today we speak of managing complexity as one of three sources of confusion.

The second form of balance is necessary for teams that span multiple disciplines, physics, engineering, chemistry, mathematics, and data science. No one has a full understanding of the vision, and the same words can refer to entirely different things.

The challenge for me is to keep this blog full of actionable ideas and the discussion fun yet neither fuzzy nor dull. Please keep me to it with your comments.

See you soon!
