    All teams attempting to enhance their performance must deal with trust. There are lots of theories about what trust is, why it matters and how to develop it. There are also countless exercises and activities designed to build trust. Most of these theories and approaches assume that trust is the key to effective teamwork, a necessary precursor.

    Practices 2 and 3 - Inspire Purpose and Crystallize intent

    Once a team understands the context it's operating in, it needs to figure out how its collaboration can create the greatest value for the organization. A team's purpose captures that value proposition and provides a "why" for their collaboration. Understanding "why" a team's collaboration matters is a good start but it isn't enough. The next practice helps teams to figure out exactly what work requires collaboration, and which doesn't, and how their work will deliver on their purpose statement.
