This is a wildly impressive syndicate. But looking down this list (that even includes Hollywood/entertainment elite: Ari Emmanuel, Ashton Kutcher, Micheal Rapino) I couldn't help but wonder: Will managing the amount of ego on this list be a 25-hour-a-day job on it's own?
Given the scope of the names on that list - and the industries they're representing - there could easily be some conflicting interests and competing agendas within the group. Also, a ton of alpha a-players who may or may not be domesticated for this type of "super group". Could this much mojo be counter-productive?
I wish Socialcam the best, and hope this doesn't end among the graveyard of "Why Dream Teams Fail" case studies.
The most important lesson about team performance is that the basic
theory of the dream team is wrong. You cannot assemble a group of
stars and then sit back to watch them conquer the world. You can't
even count on them to avoid embarrassment. The 2004 U.S. Olympic
basketball team consisted entirely of NBA stars; it finished third
and lost to Lithuania.
