Chemistry Matters: When ‘All-Stars’ Fail
from The Unapologetic Capitalist Hosted by The Unapologetic Capitalist
An All Star team isn’t necessarily the OPTIMAL team. Team chemistry matters and optimally allocating your resources to germinate good leaders and managers within your company is paramount for success. There is some logic (though often short-sighted) in plucking single players out of another environment and putting them with other “All Star” individuals of excellent talent on to your team. You can even convince yourself that you’ve put together the ‘best team’ possible. However, what is best for the whole venture doesn’t mean maximizing every single piece. You have to be prudent about where you are investing your money and resources. You can very well be dooming your team and/or venture by assembling “All Stars” instead of building a long term value generating team. A team that has cultivated productive chemistry over time will beat out a more talented team of individual ‘All Stars’ every time.
