Design Teams for Success Over Harmony

Team performance is driven by effective design rather than interpersonal liking among members. Evidence indicates that 60% of a team's potential success is established before they convene, emphasizing the significance of creating the right conditions for collaboration. Adequate team design includes stable membership and a clear, compelling goal that fosters a shared purpose. The dynamics of a team may improve as performance increases, thus prioritizing team design over dynamics is crucial for achieving organizational goals.
