A team is simple; it is a collection of people formed for a common task.

A "strong team" is something completely different. There are two elements: the individuals that make up the team and the manner in which the team come together.

The individuals are highly aware of themselves and of each other. Aware of emotions, physiology and behaviour. Aware of the impact that they have on others and others on them. They judge themselves on their behaviours and judge others on their intentions.

Their own ego is subservient to the collective ego; they know when to lead and when to follow. They are skilled, complementary and demonstrate humility, loyalty and a positive attitude. They are focused and disciplined. They know what today is doing for their tomorrow. They are the "power of one"

The "strong team" is formed when these "strong individuals" are bound by a unifying purpose, are loyal to an agreed code of conduct and demonstrate a collective determination to succeed.

They become the "power of many"
