At one of my companies we were working through the challenges of building a startup, all of us on one team, but in another sense each of us were on an island. We were bound together by a shared vision of what we could accomplish but each team was oriented around what was best for them locally. We hadn’t built a strong shared sense of what we were trying to do together, but in spite of that the teams were able to come together on their own local priorities and make headway.
