7. Lead Teams to Agility
Abstract
“The team is always smarter than even the smartest individual.” We’ve heard this proverb so frequently that it’s become a cliché. But is it true? And, if so, why is that the case? Einstein had no team around him when he developed the general theory of relativity, nor did Newton when he discovered his fundamental laws of physics.

Even Newton, the typical example of the lone genius, stated that he “stood on the shoulders of giants” to make his calculations.
