While it is true that great teams often have great talent, it’s also true that great talent doesn’t always produce great teams. How that talent works together is key.

This picture from the recent NBA Championship instantly became a viral internet meme. In it are three certain future Hall of Fame players on the Golden State Warriors who would eventually win the championship. Draymond Green and Steph Curry are cheering Kevin Durant after he made a big shot near the end of a game. The picture immediately spoke to me about teamwork in the following ways:

• Reservation and exhilaration can and should co-exist.
• Seriousness and playfulness and should can co-exist.
• Celebrate the successes of those you work with.
• As a superstar contributor, can your talents be appreciated (or do others find you intimidating)?
• As a superstar contributor, can you celebrate when others are in the limelight?
• It’s OK to have some teammates who are quietly self-confident and others who are enthusiastic supporters.

Not in the picture is another team member who also is a certain future Hall of Famer. About this teammate, the coach says: “He’s not low-maintenance. He’s no-maintenance.”

• Every team needs some contributors who are no-maintenance.

Rather than be preoccupied with who should be on their teams, leaders should be more concerned with how their teams can work effectively together.
