The Unabomber was a terrorist who bombed some 16 targets across the US from the 1970s until his capture in 1996. The recent Netflix series on the hunt for the Unabomber<\/a> shows how driven and imaginative leadership allowed the FBI to organize the huge investigation that ultimately identified and caught the perpetrator. A crucial piece in the puzzle was the decision to use a little-known investigative tool at the time, forensic linguistics<\/a>, to profile the killer and link a suspect to the bomber\u2019s messages through his writing.<\/p>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0 Combine people with complementary skills<\/h2>\n
A remarkable feature of the collaboration of the UK\u2019s famous Bletchley Park World War II code-breaking group<\/a> is they worked together without knowing what each other did. The set of computers known as Colossus<\/a> flawlessly executed a complex and precise series of steps. And while the Enigma machines<\/a> get much publicity, the real challenge was a more complex German High Command code called Lorenz<\/a>. The innovative team was assembled by recruiting civilians through difficult crossword puzzles placed in newspapers.<\/p>\nAnother great example is the team that created the Ford Mustang, as chronicled in 2015 documentary A Faster Horse<\/a>. It\u2019s all about a group of engineers and designers working together to solve a specific problem.<\/p>\n4.\u00a0\u00a0 Involve everyone in generating and executing ideas<\/h2>\n
Member of surreal British comedy group Monty Python, Eric Idle, says the whole Monty Python team wrote their skits before they cast them<\/a>. It meant no one would be personally invested in an idea before the group could fine-tune it.<\/p>\nMany collaborative efforts depend on a solid process of idea creation and development. Real-time online writing and editing tools like Google Docs can facilitate these efforts when you\u2019re not working face-to-face.<\/p>\n

The US Army now recognizes soldiers must protect their digital networks and repel cyber invasions. They recently created a cyber workspace near Augusta, Georgia, called Tatooine<\/a>.

They\u2019re also building great partnerships between military and civilian resources, for example, the successful Hack the Army bug bounty program<\/a>.<\/p>\n6.\u00a0\u00a0 Use communication and collaboration tools effectively<\/h2>\n
Many of these teams worked together before the digital age, using basic communication tools. We\u2019re now blessed with email, real-time messaging apps, video chats and more. But these blessings are also a curse if misused.<\/p>\n
