‘How important is teamwork? You might be forgiven, as a Tory voter, for concluding that it didn’t seem to be relevant during the recent election campaign.

Mrs May’s closest advisors apparently seemed to think that they were entitled to run the show. I wonder how the Godfather would have reacted if his consigliere had tried to take over!

Perhaps the point is that Mrs May’s lack of experience as Prime Minister and the alleged ego of her two closest advisors combined to produce the unmitigated disaster I referred to in my previous post.

According to published remarks by some of Mrs May’s ministers, her two advisors had little or no clue about teamwork. They apparently discarded any input from even the most senior ministers. Probably this adds weight to the argument that Mrs May made a serious mistake in calling the election. Too soon! Too risky!

Teamwork really matters. The proof of that pudding is in not eating it.’
