This reminds me of the poor[0] management technique of avoiding I vs you ("there's no I in team") to project a feeling of ownership: e.g. "We don't do things this way." vs "You're not meant to do things this way." or "We think it's best to let you go." vs "I think it's best to let you go."

Team-building isn't something you can just define into existence.
