Enterprises often organize people into a working group and call them a team even when the members work independently and have no overlap of tasks or outcomes. Because they are called a team, leaders naturally hold meetings with the collective, asking them to provide updates and review performance metrics that others on the team could care less about.
This is a powerful observation and accompanying wise counsel for the industry of network marketing. I've fallen prey in the past to the desire for a cohesive work unit which led me to call my downline a "team". In reality, we had some things shared - like the learning curves and difficulties encountered, but all of the incentives and daily work happened as individuals.
I believe that this advice is powerful and I'll be sharing it with leaders in this industry.
One thing we have done with some success is to create some community around the most common objectives. For example, we established a daily "personal growth" virtual meeting. For periods of time it was fueling to the individuals and we found that many drew a great deal of benefit from the structure.
Thanks again for these daily gems. I'll call out your generosity here. These blogs are highly valuable and the fact that you are sharing them freely is greatly appreciated by me and others with whom I've shared them.

This is some good and practical wisdom for making an arbitrary grouping into a real team.
That word may indicate less individuality than is accurate.
Getting closer though!
