What gives a team the 'collective edge'?

If we shifted our focus from the individual to the collective how different would our results at work be? I'm joined by Colin Fisher who explains that great teams are the most important contributors to great outcomes at work. The problem is that for many of our teams they are equal to less than the sum of the parts. Groups get bigger and bigger and stop being effective. Managers avoid having discussions about trimming teams down - and it leads to failure. Colin's new book The Collective Edge breaks down the ingredients of forming good teams.
