Six Common Misperceptions about Teamwork

Six Common Misperceptions about Teamwork.  This is a great article from Harvard Business Review about working in teams.  Misconception #1 about Harmony helping teams is one that I run into frequently.  The assumption is that if we are all nice and get along with one another we will get more done, but the reality is that artificial harmony keeps teams from succeeding.  Team members hold back their thoughts and opinions which are the critical fuel for good decision making.  Teams need to cultivate productive conflict management skills that will take their performance to the next level.
