Effective cross-functional teams must  foster behaviors and communication strategies that build trust vs. bust trust.  Elements to achieve this include: 

• Articulate the shared goal such that there is passionate engagement by team members
• Identify barriers to reaching the goal
• Apply skills that spur creative problem solving
• Learn skills to address unproductive behaviors to free natural enthusiasm
• Learn skills to foster new levels of cohesion, trust, and  engagement
• Celebrate wins
• Use everything that happens for "learning"
• Use success to demonatrate a model of a high performance team that others emulate
