We all believe in the power of groups, but how do you ensure the genius of the group emerges instead of groupthink?

  2. Successful collaborative teams practice deep listening
  3. Team members build on their collaborators’ ideas
  4. Only afterwards does the meaning of each idea become clear
  5. Surprising questions emerge
  6. Innovation is inefficient
  7. Innovation emerges from the bottom up
