Developing a Model for Team Learning and Success
-- David Bennet and Alex Bennet
Collaboration makes it easier for a team to learn. Enterprise partnering makes it easier for a team to obtain feedback from its stakeholders. In turn, a high collaboration level can help develop and implement a strong enterprise partnering program. Feedback indicates a potential need for the team to reassess itself and can help direct team learning. Both collocation and team size can influence the degree of team collaboration. The appropriate use of technology improves the speed of communication and the efficiency of many of the other success factors.

Navigating the High Seas of Teamwork
-- Barry Zweibel
Building and managing high performance teams really does have a lot in common with the dangerous High Seas: adventure; possibilities; vibrancy; discovery. Effectively leveraging 1 + 1 > 2 practice and application of synergy; empowering your team to accomplish more (or better or faster or cheaper) than the same number of individuals could, individually; and helping insure ‘safe passage’ of the promise, expectation, and results of effective collaboration—ensure ‘helmsmanship’ of the highest order.

Building and Managing High Performance Boards
-- Colin Coulson-Thomas
Despite their directorial pedigrees, clear duties and responsibilities and regular attendances at meetings, many directors seem to have neither noticed nor questioned risky business development policies. Executive directors have not been held to account. Recent preoccupations of the corporate governance community have not helped. In some quarters, there has been an almost exclusive concentration upon board structures.

Team Building and the Stages of Team Development
-- Stephanie Jones
If teams are to live up to their promise and be more than the sum of the parts, they must be able to achieve more than individuals working on their own. So team achievements might be difficult or impossible to achieve by the boss alone or other individual efforts alone. A successful team achieves synergy, which occurs when people together create new alternatives and solutions that are better than their individual efforts.

The Virtue of ‘Confucian Leadership’: Transforming Yourself into an
Avant-Garde Chief by Learning from an Ancient Sage
-- Kai-Alexander Schlevogt
Confucius’ legacy explains much of China’s current economic success, as well as the long periods of prosperity enjoyed by other societies with Confucian traditions, such as Japan, South Korea and Singapore. The strength and resilience of Confucian teaching is demonstrated by the fact that despite communism, it remains deeply engrained in China’s moral and social fabric.

Hanuman: Valmiki’s Definition for Activist-Loyalist Follower
-- GRK Murty
Nothing appears more surprising to those who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few, and the implicit submission with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.
