The TeamThe TeamNo ideal team member, a good team contains a mix of people
1.Chairman to direct and manage team’s efforts (not to do all the work or have all the ideas)
2.Evaluator who can make hard-headed and sometimes unpopular judgements
3.Workers to do the actual work4.Too many “genius” types often distract the
team with way-out ideas
