The document outlines six building blocks of highly functioning teams: effective leadership, a clear vision and mission, infrastructure, 100% participation, action planning, and effective empowerment. It provides descriptions of each building block and explains how they work together to create a strong foundation for the team. Effective communication is also called out as the "mortar" that holds all the building blocks together.
