It seems the image of the genius architect, conceiving ideas alone in his office, is dead. Considering that these days teams are wide and multidisciplinary, here are some guidelines on teamwork : 1 – Define what each of the team members knows, their skills (so effort can be directed) 2 – One leader is good, two is best, three is a crowd (too many egos at stake) 3 – The leaders aren`t the BOSS (they provide a common vision and bring out the best of each member) 4 – Open Communication (serious open non emotional communication:  professional environment) 5 – No Stress (pressure brings out the worst part of individuals) Sources: ESIC, IDOM
