I have been reading “Rebel Ideas” by Matthew Syed. I agree with the main theme of the book – diverse teams are likely to be more successful as there is the benefit of different ideas, insights and perspectives.
I like this photo of stones on a beach. All the parts are different shapes, sizes and colours but put together, we can see a white seam that runs through them to make a circle.
I think this can be a good way to think about teams. The participants can be very different, yet by working together they produce valuable, beneficial, creative output.
