Too many teams are less than the sum of their parts, and building a great team requires more than just picking an all-star roster or doing trust falls.

You’ll also hear some special tape from Adam’s late mentor Richard Hackman, a leading expert on teams. Available transcripts for WorkLife can be found at go.ted.com/WLtranscripts
