It is important to note that Hackman did not rate any one of these conditions as being more important than the others. He emphasised that all are needed for teams to have a good chance of being high performing. He also noted that much of the team development work has to be done upfront, rather than through interventionist approaches later. Consider this quote (emphasis ours):

“Let me go out on a limb and make rough estimates of the size of these effects. I propose that 60 per cent of the difference in how well a group eventually does is determined by the quality of the condition-setting pre-work the leader does. Thirty per cent is determined by how the initial launch of the group goes. And only 10 per cent is determined by what the leader does after the group is already underway with its work. This view stands in stark contrast to popular images of group leadership—the conductor waving a baton throughout a musical performance or an athletic coach shouting instructions from the sidelines during a game.” (p. 438)

If this is indeed the case, then much of the received wisdom on leadership is misleading if not downright wrong … but that’s not what interests us most about Hackman’s conclusions.
