One of many "sayings" my colleagues are sick of hearing me roll out...but, I standby it.
I believe for a team to work successfully together (be that a solely in-house team, or one comprised of both internal and external participants) that these core ingredients are essential.
There needs to be absolutely clarity on the goal and every element of the path towards it (noting that explicit, step-by-step instructions are rarely required for teams who truly "click" - clarity is ensured).
Adequate communication is essential to ensure clarity at every stage. The clearer and more consise the better (without being a d***).
And true, genuine collaboration should bring individual experts together in combination to achieve particular objectives.
What are your top team management tips?

A range of different personalities...nothing worse than cliques with a narrow view of things.
Making everyone feel a part of the team.
Recognition!!! Each team member being recognised for their role, and making sure jealousy doesn't rear its really ugly head etc
In failing that, work with dogs! Full loyalty, fun and never a dull moment! Haha
