[Mc Carthy] Tech identified the state of Shared Vision as the catalyst leading to the hyper-productivity and seamless communication found in the best teams. The [Mc Carthys] then developed the key variables, structures and behaviors that, when consistently applied by the members of a team, will always generate the state of shared vision in the team. A team having a shared vision characterizes the most successful team experiences. Until now, there has been no reliable means for generating the shared vision experience at will.

"We wanted Teamworx to move in the direction of intimacy and connectedness," he says. "My sense is that that was a little more than some folks felt safe with." Nonetheless, it's clear that there are no guarantees in team building, even for the experts.
