This short YouTube monologue by Donald Burns argues that forming a team is easy but building a functioning team requires a selective, methodical selection process. He frames team selection as a central responsibility of owners, operators, and chefs and stresses the need for clearly defined procedures to ensure shared goals and mission.

Putting together a team is easy. Just grab some people, call a meeting and declare them a team. The real work comes when you try to get the team to work together towards a common goal and a common mission. You need to be very, very selective about who you allow in your team. One of the most important roles as an owner, operator or chef is selecting who they allow to be on the team. Therefore, the team selection process must be clearly defined and very methodical.
