Teamwork is neither 'good' nor 'desirable.' It is a fact. Wherever people work together or play together they do so as a team. Which team to use for what purpose is a crucial, difficult and risky decision that is even harder to unmake. Managements have yet to learn how to make it.

No organization can depend on genius; the supply is always scarce and unreliable.

The purpose of an organization is to enable common men to do uncommon things.
Peter Drucker quotes

Leadership is not magnetic personality — that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not 'making friends and influencing people' — that is flattery.
