Teaming

According to Harvard professor Amy Edmonson, dynamic work environments and large-scale challenges require “teaming”: the flexibility to collaborate in the moment with an ever-changing roster of professionals.

> “Teaming” is collaborating “on the fly” across disciplines and distance and with an ever-changing roster of experts.
> By contrast, teamwork involves practice and planning amid a relatively small, fixed group of people.
> Teamwork outperforms teaming but isn’t always an option. Many projects are fast-paced, unpredictable and complex – like the 2010 rescue of 33 trapped Chilean miners.

>>> Successful teaming builds on three qualities: humble leadership, intellectual curiosity and comfort in risk taking <<
