My experience has been that, either there is a flimsy shaking of head in unison and treatment of people as imbeciles or outright bullying and shutting down of any new ideas in most corporate environment I have been witness to. Further there is no repercussion for speaking your mind and there is a intellectually honest discussion about it. Whether each advice is accepted and incorporated or not is not of essence as long as they are told "why" and there is a robust discussion. An effective team is where each member has equal opportunity to say what they have to say. The key mantra in this chapter is about giving equal time to voices in the team (not equal voice but equal time), acceptance of mistake and uninhibited presentation of ideas and views without judgement or retribution. There are few great examples from Saturday Night Live and Google which illustrate how great teams work and perform. This is more relevant for folks looking for what makes teams click, team work and what good leadership is or should look like.
