## Managing Teams

* A single person cannot achieve everything:
    * Specialization: Jack of all trades, Master of none.
    * Ideas: communities get ideas more often than individuals. 
* The single largest impediment to teams achieving less than the sum of its parts is: confusion in in communication.
* Let people know:
    * The goal.
        * What to expect in terms of goal shift.
    * Their roles
        * Whom to go see if they are stuck.
        * Whom to check onk.
    * How to minimise conversations:
        * Define 1 meeting reason, 3 issues to cover, 2+ suggestions to consider.
            * Call to order quickly.
