According to an ancient Far Eastern saying, wisdom begins with calling things by their right names. So what is a team? The word "team" has its origins in an Anglo-Saxon cultural concept and means a union of several persons with the commun goal of succesfully completing a certain mission or attaining a jointly defined goal.
Succesful teams consoldate their complementary skills, know-how and experience. The result will be much more than the total of all individual contributions. In contrast to pseudo teams, which only bear the name, real teams are marked by innovation, quality, customer proxity and a high degree of flexibility. In our highly dynamic and complex business reality it is precicely these qualitiies that decide whether our undertakings will be succesful or not.
