Power of Team Flow
Team flow is a collective state where individuals operate as a unified entity with fluid coordination and amplified skills.
This state feels almost telepathic and enables extremely high productivity and success in complex missions.

Recruit Specialized, Complementary Skills
Recruit a team with high skill integration, ensuring members have complementary but equally high skills.
Avoid hiring 'jack of all trades'; specialize roles to boost team flow potential.

Define Narrow, Clear Roles
Focus recruitment on very specific, singular core responsibilities to attract top talent easily.
Avoid overly broad roles that mix unrelated skills which make hiring difficult.
