Abstract: Clinical teams are at the heart of healthcare value. Teamwork requires an appreciation of the unique geniuses of each team member as well as an understanding of team dynamics and larger organizational challenges. Effective teams leverage each member's unique talents within a culture of shared humility, service, and dedication. Although interpersonal communication is paramount, organizations that promote a culture of psychological safety to allow productive and necessary conflict are most effective at fostering shared commitment that allows real accountability and result-oriented, responsive systems. Healthy teams can serve to energize clinicians to provide outstanding service and high-value care.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology. Published by Elsevier Inc.
