Leaders of Great Groups - HBR• At the heart of every Great Group is a shared dream.
• All Great Groups believe that they are on a mission from God, that they could change the world, make a dent in the universe. They are obsessed with their work. It becomes not a job but a fervent quest. That belief is what brings the necessary cohesion and energy to their work.
• Provide direction and meaning. • They remind people of what's important and why their work makes a difference.
• Generate and sustain trust. • The group's trust in itself -- and its leadership -- allows members to accept dissent and
ride through the turbulence of the group process. • Display a bias toward action, risk taking, and curiosity.
• A sense of urgency -- and a willingness to risk failure to achieve results -- is at the heart of every Great Group.
• Are purveyors of hope. • Effective team leaders find both tangible and symbolic ways to demonstrate that the
group can overcome the odds.

• "we are all angels with only one wing; we can only fly while embracing one another." – Luciano de Crescanzo
In the end, these groups cannot be managed, only led in flight.
