Teamwork doesn't happen overnight or by accident. Every project team, executive team, or Board of Directors experiences common stages of team development with many predictable and manageable "getting started" issues. Working together early on to address these core team issues will improve the working relationships within the team and determine its overall success. Team building should be a result of the "real work" and not treated like a separate activity. Effective team development ensures that the right things happen by design, not by chance.
