Unfortunately, assigning a group of high-performing individuals to work together does not instantly transform them into a high-performing team. Communication is the key to making a team more than the sum of its parts, yet managers often complain that their team members fail to communicate effectively, both with each other and the team leader. This breakdown weakens team morale, but more importantly, it reduces the team's quality and efficiency, meaning more missed targets and more late nights at the office. Here's a tip: use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to improve communication rapidly in any team.
