We can only create what we can imagine, what we can envision. As Michelangelo reportedly remarked, sculpting a statue is easy--it's a matter of looking at a block of marble and taking away everything that doesn't belong there. Great groups "As they say, ‘None of us is as smart as all of us.’ That's good, because the problems we face are too complex to be solved by any one person or any one discipline. Our only chance is to bring people together from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines who can refract a problem through the prism of complementary minds allied in common purpose. I call such collections of talent Great Groups. The genius of Great Groups is that they get remarkable people -- strong individual achievers -- to work together to get results. But these groups serve a second and equally important function: they provide psychic support and personal fellowship. They help generate courage. Without a sounding board for outrageous ideas, without personal encouragement and perspective when we hit a roadblock, we'd all lose our way" (Warren Bennis, 1997).
