Group work can be a lot of fun, or it can be a painful, painful experience.
This week, I spent every spare moment working on a case competition with a self-selected team. While the individuals were all very smart people, in the end we discovered that we weren't on the same page. It was a really frustrating experience for all, but it was certainly a learning experience. In the end, we learned a lot about business design and about ourselves.
Personally, I leaned the importance of being on the same page with your team members. A quick chat about objectives can go a long way to avoid battles along the way. :)
