Kind of like people. You've heard the saying, "If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room". Don't be the equalizer. You've got to add some spice to the room. But you can't just do it randomly. Just like spicy foods, if someone on the team is too spicy, you're going to have problems.
A good spicy team member is going to communicate, share openly and willingly, question ideas/decisions, and be honest and straight forward. But to keep from becoming too spicy, he/she's also going to actively treat others with respect and be supportive.
You don't want all yes wo/men on your teams. You'll never improve to the degree that you need to keep up. Spicy people are a key. You need people to keep things active and to keep everyone's minds flowing and thinking. The first idea isn't always the best. In fact, it usually isn't. You need quality discussion.
Walt Disney once said that, "Ideas come from curiosity". When setting up teams, take care to really look at everyone you're considering. You need people that exhibit curiosity. Spice it up a bit and get a good mix. A good mix equals good results.
