The team members are motivated by results, have good conflict-resolution skills, and are highly committed to the project, among other things. They have a solid understanding of the project goals and objectives and understand the direction the project is headed in. When their brilliant teammate questions the approach the team is using regarding one of the goals, you ask the team for their input and gather the facts before making a decision. You ask the team what they would do, and their conclusion is that the brilliant teammate is right and it’s better to go with his solution than the one they planned.
