Part I. What Is Dynamic Reteaming?

Whether you like it or not, your teams are going to change. People will join your team, and people will leave your team. It takes the addition or removal of only one person to have a new team system.1 And sometimes it is more than that. Multiple people join the company. It feels different. When a company goes through hard times, it could be that many people are dismissed. This is all dynamic reteaming. It is all part of the general concept of team change. We might catalyze our own team change and, therefore, desire it. At other times, the changes happen to us. Recognizing team change as a natural occurrence is a key point of this book. In essence, team change is inevitable, so we might as well get good at it.

Our teams evolve. Time passes and transformations occur. Let’s dive into the nature of teams.
