100% agree, #4 is where the magic happens. It isn’t something that “just happens” you need to be deliberate and intentional in making it happen. In my experience, the right leadership, converging on the right vision makes it happen. But you absolutely need the shared vision. I have been incredibly fortunate in my career to have either been a part of, or leading groups that truly jelled. In every case, it doesn’t last forever, But while it lasts it is incredible. For those that never experienced it, there are two parts to achieve it: 1. Find people who put the “mission” first. The only way true collaboration happens is when the people collaborating stop thinking about “what is in it for them” 2. Find something “worthy” of you to work on. It can be as grandiose as the company mission, or it can be as pedestrian as improving your tiny bit of the world. But whatever it is, it has to resonate with you at a deep emotional level. What I have found is that #4 of the article is almost a natural outcome of you can manage my two items (Assuming the team has 1-3). But yes, it is not something that “just happens”.
