The most often asked questions from my clients are “What are the most important characteristics of a high-performing team, and how would you prioritize them?” Thankfully, I have been asking myself these same questions for most of my adult life, starting when I was sixteen or seventeen. My father had been a professional athlete (baseball and basketball) and was the head basketball coach at a small college in New England. I grew up playing team sports and often felt that I saw the playing fields through my father's perspective, after filtering it with my own experiences. I understood the power of synergy, of everyone on the team working together towards the same common goals, and the power of competitive spirits driving themselves and each other towards excellence.
