Bill Fischer on Building High Performance Teams May 2009 - By Dr. Nagendra V Chowdary |
“ One good way to compare high-performing teams with VTs, is to consider the fortunes of all-star teams in sports, where individual stars are typically recruited to such teams, whether they are football, cricket, basketball, or baseball, and yet they are not forced to be all-star individuals within a team context.”
