So I have had this thought for quite a while now.

What makes the perfect team? What makes it or breaks it? How does it function?

One cannot make it alone, in fact most biggest entrepreneurs tell you that for a business to be successful needs at least two minds into it. Teams should be small, but there should still be a team to support any project. This could be an active team, or may be a board of advisers, call it however you want to call it, but you need these different angles of seeing things.

So, being the freak I am with good TV shows, I recently watched all 7th season of 24, and really this thought clicked in my mind. You see it with the characters of this show in this season, and what they represent. Any team needs these:

Leadership - somebody to trust

Every team needs a leader. Somebody to offer options, the type of person that can make the most imaginable things happen. The leader is always somebody people look up to, might be because of his/her experience, achievements, or whatever reason. This person is off course Jack Bauer, this guy can come up with the most imaginable and risky moves, and finds a way that everybody ends up following him. The guy is always right.

Experience - somebody who has done it

You always need somebody who has done it before. Who knows how to do things, and knows this because he/she has done it. Again, this person can be in either your team or board of advisers. This character is played by Tony Almeida.

Good Management - somebody to put it all together

You will always need the organized person who can call the shots. The person who keeps the project going by knowing which step is the next one needs to be taken. This is what Bill Buchanan represents.

Technology - off course!

So, off course I can say this is a must, since I am very much into technology. But it is really true. The things you can do with technology, you would not be able to do without. All the information you can reach, people you can follow, etc. it is really invaluable. Off course none of the operations of 24 could have been done without Chloe O’Brian.

Apprentice - the drive to learn

You always need someone who you can pass your wisdom to if not the world would not work the way it does. There is always somebody that has the drive to learn, that is basically a sponge. They usually do not have the experience, but are eager to. This passion of the beginners does not have value. This is off course played by a newbie to this show, Renee Walker.
