Tony Morgan wasn’t writing about leadership teams but nonetheless, the list he offer
ed up are some good reasons for one:
- Teams involve more people, thus affording more resources, ideas and energy than would an individual.
- Teams maximize a leader’s potential and minimize his or her weaknesses.
- Teams provide multiple perspectives on how to meet a need or reach a goal, thus devising several alternatives for each situation.
- Teams share the credit for victories and the blame for losses.
- Teams keep leaders accountable for the goal.
- Teams can do more than an individual.
President Woodrow Wilson once said, “We should not only use all the brains we have, but all that we can borrow.”
