| Tiivistelmä: | Taking the way of relating among the pygmies of the American rain forest as a metaphor for effective group work -- as the pygmies' hunting-gathering society represents a microcosm of key survival practices of team operating under very harsh conditions -- this article offers a number of lessons for creating successful work teams. Pygmies provide the paradigm for high performance teams in which members respect and trust each other, provide mutual protection and support, engage in open dialogue and communication, share common goals, subordinate their own objectives to those of the team, and subscribe to "distributed" leadership. |
