Excellent teams don't just come together by accident. It takes a lot of hard work to create synergy.
This was a theme at the recent Behance 99% conference on creativity in New York City, where innovative minds like Nest Founder Tony Fadell and Warby Parker CEO Neil Blumenthal spoke about how to come up with — and act upon — big ideas.
The conference was hosted by Behance Network, which is an online platform devoted to showcasing creative work. (The company also just raised $6.5 million from Jeff Bezos and other investors.) Founder and CEO Scott Belsky held a workshop on how to create effective teams, based on his book, Making Ideas Happen: Overcoming The Obstacles Between Vision & Reality.
