Machines are evaluated based on the output of the entire unit, not the impressiveness of their individual parts. Extraordinary teams, like great machines, require certain components that hold their pieces together. While most organizations focus exclusively on building the skills of their individual members, elite organizations invest in the “stuff” that transforms a collection of talented individuals into extraordinary, machine-like teams. This endnote session is packed with insights, humor, and tools to help listeners take their respective teams to a higher level. The recording of this session will be available in the AAACN Online Library post-conference for registered attendees only.
