There have been several critical themes of this chapter. The first is planning. You must plan ahead for what resources and skills are needed. A second theme has been politics. You are not likely to often get the best people; they are often too busy on other important work. Make up for the best when you can with people who are energetic and ambitious. Also, employ the third theme—that of collaboration. You must instill in the team how important you feel a collaborative approach is and why they must work together if the project is to succeed.
