Most define leadership in the singular, but leadership is exponentially more powerful when defined in the plural.   

Think of parenting. Research shows that - 

• Two parents are better than one  
• Parents that support one another have more success than parents that don't
• Divorced parents can effectively raise kids when they work together 

The challenge - leadership teams don't naturally meld together. Why? 

• Ego's -  past success says to them "my way works!"
• Style - like parents, leaders have their preferred style 
• Experience - leadership habits and routines are deeply engrained  

You build a leadership team the same way you build any other team, you...

1. Clarify roles 
2. Commit to same outcomes 
3. Adopt same standards 
4. Develop same competencies
