Elements of GREAT Teams

We have so many great teams in Leeds; in our schools and in Education Leeds...

What are the characteristics across those great teams? It seems to me that they all have the following in common:
1. They have a clear shared vision as a learning organisation;
2. They have a 'can do' attitude which permeates the team;
3. Colleagues in these teams and schools are hopeful,positive and optimistic;
4. They nurture innovation, creativity and are constantly curious;
5. They are focused but take the long-term view;
6. They recognise, celebrate and develop talent;
7. They enjoy what they are doing and wherever possible they have fun;
8. They are passionate and energetic.

How does your team match up?
