Whatever number people may come uo with, one thing is certain: most top notch teams are small in size. I would say most productive teams come in 2 sizes. Both have military connections.

This guide belongs to 100 Ways To Be Being Remarkable Series, a special project that brings you business and self-development advice from The Success Manual.

1. The Four-man fighting modules
This is how the U.S. Navy Seal operates. In this four person fighting module, rank is forgotten. Everyone joins in.

2. The Twelve man US Army’s Special Forces teams
Do not be alarmed by these small sizes. Army experts say these teams can 'equal the fighting power of a light infantry company'.  Small teams are self-contained, swift and quiet. Most importantly, these small action teams are low-maintenance, requiring less overhead and infrastructure support. Here is task list of such attack teams in brief:

Plan and conduct Special Forces operations separately or as part of a larger force; infiltrate and exfiltrate specified operational areas by air, land, or sea; conduct operations in remote areas and hostile environments for extended periods of time with a minimum of external direction and support; develop, organize, equip, train and advise or direct indigenous forces up to battalion size in special operations; train, advise and assist other U.S. and allied forces and agencies; plan and conduct unilateral SF operations; perform other special operations as directed by higher authority.
