This document discusses successful team building and outlines benefits, roles, qualities of effective team builders, and ways teams can fail. It notes that building teams can help maximize output, eliminate self-interested attitudes, and determine true leaders. Effective team builders are selective in choosing members, provide support, are open and honest, encourage interaction, and provide proper training. Teams can fail due to poor planning, bad attitudes, lack of focus on goals, hidden agendas, or having the wrong team members.
