Why do bad things happen to good teams? Teams often fail because their members are following conventional models and theories that rely on the view that all a team needs to succeed is to focus within, on its own processes, on the problem at hand, and on each other as team members. The problem is that the world has changed and this model of internal focus doesn't work so well anymore. Being called to take a new leadership role, teams must become the eyes that read the changing environment, the people who bring commitment and energy to the task, the visionaries who help shape a new future, and the inventors of innovative solutions for business and world problems. This chapter is excerpted from ‘X-Teams: How to Build Teams That Lead, Innovate, and Succeed'.
