A good team is a lot like a great jazz band in which each player listens to the other instruments as they play their own. The better they pay attention to the rest of the band and work their way into the music, the better the result.*
To make sure your team operates like a great jazz group, try this in your next big meeting: Each person goes around the room introducing themselves, their strengths superpowers, and how doing their job well contributes to the team and the company. You can then have a conversation about how you’ll make even more beautiful music together.
