From the Paper:

"Dream teams are the stuff legends are made of. While most people think of dream teams in view of sports, big business boasts the creation of dream teams (Dwyer, 2004) as well. Effective team building skills for a coach are very similar to those of business leadership. Whether on the field or in the boardroom, one star cannot win a game; they can certainly help score the winning run, but one person cannot play all positions. As such, effective team-building efforts are critical. According to a study performed on U.S. Olympic teams from the Atlanta Summer Games several years ago (Goughnour & Pares, 2006) those teams that failed to perform had considerable areas of weakness including "team cohesion, experience, confidence, commitment and focus." Payne (as cited by Goughnour & Pares, 2006) states that in effective teams, each member works together to ensure the success of the whole."
