Teams work best under the supervision of an authoritative leader who can generate enthusiasm and a sense of loyalty to the team as well as giving a clear focus and direction for each team member.

Teams which are not given such clear guidance and allocated structure can become prey to a strong sense of individualism which may result in each team member 'doing their own thing' with little reference to the rest of the team.

Due to the relationship nature of approach to work in Italy, once a strong team has been forged it is not a good thing to dismember it - rather look for other projects for the 'family'.  Try to foster the team spirit with social events - preferably centred around good food.
