6 Success Patterns for V-Teams

What is the success pattern for leading a successful v-team?

I asked one of my mentors, a seasoned softie for his take on what are the keys to a successful v-team.

Here is what he had to say:

you’re building a coalition — not just a vteam
make sure everyone is committed … not just involved (see Turning Chickens into Pigs)
get commitments and support from their leadership
do an “exec” vision scope and milestone reviews
give the team members the credit
show up as a leader who is worth following – defend them, work for them, help them succeed — you are working with people that you may want to follow you one day
