Thanks, Jez, for this really insightful article on building effective teams. The points you made about clarity, purpose, and picking the right people really hit home for me. I totally agree that checking your ego at the door is super important for collaboration. And you know what else is a big deal? Showing vulnerability, like actually saying, "I was wrong." That really builds trust and gets people working together. When we admit our mistakes, it makes it easier for everyone else to do the same, and that makes the team way stronger.
Thanks Tom, that’s such a good point. Vulnerability is underrated but foundational. When someone says “I was wrong” without fear it gives the whole team permission to be honest and real. It's where trust actually starts not just in getting things right, but in being safe enough to get them wrong together.
