>In any team development getting the mix right is, I would say, more important than the 'level'. In fact with too many prima donnas around things can get pretty tough :)
Good leadership, a sexy project, incentives and equity might overcome prima donna issues. If there is a pot of gold at the end of the project a team of prima donnas could do it.
The real trick [as always] is in the planning - assessing the market and translating those requirements to a simple, understandable plan that will deliver the project on schedule and on budget!
Get behind schedule - work harder and longer - get ahead of schedule - work harder and longer:-)
Imagination is more important than knowledge
