Great teams are a delicate balance, and depending upon the context the right mix will change.

When designing the future what should be considered when putting together a great team? With talent and creativity being a given, here are my top 3:

diversity  {	The right symmetry of disciplines, experience, thought, life stage…
passion  {	Fire, drive, aspiration, positivity. Passion is infectious.
respect  {	Respect infers maturity, regard, awareness and releases ego.

 

If you have the right team blend can you create the next big thing? Maybe; setting out with the expectation of creating the next big is dangerous; it indicates arrogance and desperation which are never good. Of course “big” depends upon your scope.

Most teams stumble upon great ideas through passion and exploration.
