What separates a group from a true team—and why does it matter for leaders? In this kickoff to our teams series, Shelley Saeger shares real-world stories that highlight the difference between loosely connected groups and high-performing teams built on shared purpose and trust.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• how misaligned incentives can undermine collaboration, 
• why leaders often create friction by structuring teams incorrectly, 
• the five essentials every effective team needs: identity, purpose, roles, norms, and communication. 

We also introduce key frameworks like Tuckman’s Stages of Group Development and The Five Dysfunctions of a Team to help you understand how teams evolve—and how to lead them better.

In later modules we'll cover: trust building, conflict, commitment, accountability, and volunteer teams.
