Great Teams!

Last week, I attended the ALE 2013 unconference. This is definitely one of the most awesome conferences I have ever seen. There is lots of energy, ideas and passion around there and it is an extremely inspiring environment.

I used the opportunity of open space to facilitate a session on "Great Teams" there. I will share the result of this session here. The format of the session was very simple. Every attendee got the opportunity to tell the story of a great team he was part of or has seen. After the story was told, I asked something like "If you should pick out one thing, that made this team a great team, what would it be?". Many attendees told great stories and we finally came up with the following list of things, that make teams "great".

Do you have stories to tell? What is the one thing, that makes your team great? Feel free to use the comments section!
