Great/healthy teams: Don't let problems fester. Close the loop on open questions. Integrate perspectives, code, insights, beliefs, etc., often. Put in the time to foster shared understanding. Address dissonance head-on. Limit the number of "open threads."
While reading this, I turned to my partner and said "Wow, every one of these 'great teams' behaviors shows up in our relationship. Clearly we're a great team!"
And, it's not surprising. Being a great team is mostly about having a health relationship, and being in a great relationship is a lot of attention to the small stuff that becomes big if left to fester. Great post!

Beautifully put, Eric!!!
John, when it comes to hitting your target, you are one of the very best marksmen (sic) I know.
It's like watching Tom Brady in the last quarter of a Super Bowl. You deliver the goods, man.
Great healthy teams amplify the good!
