Blair Singer argues that great teams are driven more by energy than by strategy. High team energy increases risk-taking, responsibility, and mutual support; it raises morale and helps teams stick together under pressure. Practical advice includes focusing on shared values, celebrating wins, fostering learning, and maintaining a supportive environment so people feel good and give each other slack.

Great Teams do not run on strategy. They run on this energy. Energy. We always say two people come together, the person with highest energy generally prevails or wins. This is also true of your teams. In other words, how do you keep the energy high? When the energy is high, people will take more risk. When energy is high, people are typically more responsible. When people are feeling good about what's going on, they give each other a little bit of slack and a little bit of break. So how do you do that? Focus on values. Keep their morale high. Make sure you've got an environment where people are celebrating wins and learning from each other. You do. That doesn't matter if you have a good or bad strategy. You'll still have a very powerful team that, under pressure, will always stick together. Be amazing.
