Interesting post from Digital Dust (Dan Dixon ?) via Piers. The gist is about the difference between “teams” and “organisations”. His title is “Many hands make light work, but too many cooks spoil the broth.” two aphorisms that seem to say the opposite, but in fact express the fact that there is an optimum size (in any given circumstance) for a team of people cooperating on a common “project” beyond that inter-team management must be seen as different to intra-team management, unless …
… you can engineer “teams of teams” …
… teams are almost by definition in competition (or even conflict) with each other.
Meta-Teams. This circularity, or strange loopiness, keeps cropping up.
