The people around me are smart, talented and committed.  They feel recognized and respected.  They bring their best work to the table and they are confident that I do the same.

Our task is meaningful and our objective is clear.  We communicate directly and honestly.  Leadership is fluid, drawing on individual strengths and areas of expertise.

I feel energized and excited.  My demeanor is relaxed and confident.  I am generous with praise.

This is my vision of my best possible team.

What is yours?
