Build a tower, build a team

TED Tom Wujec: Build a tower, build a team
Summary
This is the story about the design. All around us has the design. When people have to do a task of the design as a team, they should collaborate very quickly and avoid to struggle for power and other crises. You don't spend time to find a single right plan but you find important hidden meanings and have to make time to build prototypes. It also needs time to fix it several times.
It'll be better for the team to be a good leader, because they have the skills of facilitation.  They'll lead the team to success.
The design is not only done on the desk but also done like a contact sport. You have to use all of your senses to the task and apply the very best of your thinking, feeling and a performance. Don't forget building some prototypes.
