That said, if there's a good mixing agent, whether it be a great motivator or someone who can make everyone else laugh in tense moments, then I think you can start breaking the fences down and allowing the different components to mix because there's an agent keeping the balance.<br><br>I think finding the right agent is actually the toughest bit.

Are fences no longer needed, or rather at the next level the 'fences' don't have to be explicitly defined? I've seen this too -- you bring a bunch of smart, multi-talented people in a room and everyone has an opinion. While you want an open atmosphere, at some point you need to focus on your area of responsibility (the part that you own) and make that the best it can be. I've needed help with this too.
