Why Do Teams Fail???

Improper Team Building leads to

Diagnosing Team Failure

When teams fail to perform as expected, an attempt is usually made to pinpoint and blame the people responsible. An ineffective team or team failure may at times be nothing more than just a consequence of the wrong combination of people. However, the answer doesn't always lie in replacing the team but in answering the question, What went wrong with the group as a whole & why?

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
