Top-Down:  Individual development ignored

DEPENDENCE

A team is an all-knowing leader plus some
“pairs of hands” valued for their ability to
follow orders.

Individual:  Individual weakness-fixing

INDEPENDENCE

A team is a group of well-rounded, weakness-fixing independent contributors for their ability to have  no weaknesses.


Desired State for the Team: Individual strengths development
 

INTERDEPEDENCE

A strengths-based team is a group of imperfect but talented contributors valued for their strengths, who need each other to realize individual and team excellence.
