For wellbeing to take hold, it's got to be something that individual team members are getting excited about in their own lives. It can't be something that a company is forcing top-down through hierarchical structures.

Our moral sense really evolved to bind groups together into teams that can cooperate in order to compete with other teams.

Most phenomenal startup teams create businesses that ultimately fail. Why? They built something that nobody wanted.

It's unfortunate that you don't see the loyalty from management to players and players to management like we used to see in the old days.

That got us started on revenue sharing, and we couldn't have done it without all the teams.

Organizations must shift away from repetitive-function hierarchies with rules and enforcement and walls. Instead, we must migrate rapidly to becoming a global 'team of teams' that comes together in whatever combination necessary to add the greatest value to the changes underway.

But the best teams I've encountered have one important thing in common: their team structure and processes cover a full range of distinct competencies necessary for success.

I think the players win the championship, and the organization has something to do with it, don't get me wrong. But don't try to put the organization above the players.

Teams are made up of a lot of components. They're made up of hunger, they're made up of desire, they're made up of chemistry, and they're made up of emotion.
