How to Build Teams for Execution Success?

Abstract: Abstract Project teams can sometimes resemble children’s soccer. Anyone watching a swarm of five-year-old children kicking at the soccer ball knows that each child is usually focused on his/her own performance, oblivious to the overall aim of scoring goals while learning soccer skills. The road to project success is often littered with conflict resulting from disagreement among stakeholders. Program leaders must function with incomplete or inaccurate information. And there is often ambiguity or a lack of a clear definition of success in key program elements. Some teams and team leaders appear to thrive under those conditions of conflict, uncertainty, and ambiguity, while others seem paralyzed by indecision.
