MenuFirst, I'd suggest the book "Principles" by Ray Dalio. In my opinion he is a great team builder and in this book he (not only) shares his according tools/methods.
Second, in my personal experience when building great teams you need to
- make sure each member contributes to the team in a very specific and individual way with her/his personality, work style, skills, energy...
- assign clear roles & responsibilities to team members that fit the above (personality etc.) and align the interests between them
- cultivate an environment of professional, goal- and solution-oriented straight-forwardness
- apply tough love: fairly but rapidly & definitely cut people out who harm the team/goal
- implicitly ask for sacrifices/struggle and make those worthwhile*
*at times less resources are better than more! think: a situation so dynamic you have to be present 100% because otherwise you "miss the train", getting creative because logic alone doesn't make the cut anymore, having "no time to lose" so you do the most efficient thing etc.
Good luck!
