A new book has been written by Shane Snow titled Dream Teams: Working Together without Failing. Here, he talks about how diverse teams function best when there is some form of conflict. A dream team is one which battles all the odds and works towards the common desired goals. The end result is higher than the sum of its parts. Business innovations are best sparked off when there is some form of friction among the team players. An army of all thinking same does not necessitate success. In fact, humans feel comfort when they know that the person standing next is quite dissimilar. This is why individual statistics do not tell the full story in team sports. Even the famous Wright brothers had their moments of conflict which gave way to innovative team design. Intellectual humility is one thing that most professionals must now strive to incorporate.
