Building a Dream Team: How Practice Culture is the Foundation of Success

Have you ever had the privilege of being part of a team where everything just clicked? Where the kismet and synergy was so damn palpable, you could almost taste it?

It almost feels like the team had a secret language or something, like some weird collective unconscious - a shared understanding or an unspoken bond or something that made working together look and seem effortless.

These teams seem like a rare breed.

It probably feels like they just lucked into it, and that it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience to have a team that is firing on all cylinders together.

But the reality is that great teams aren’t born - they’re built, and it starts with your culture.
