* DO things together
* Agree some team values and standards together
* Make sure that you have a common goal or goals
* Review performance together as well as individually
* Spend specific time developing the team, not just at the beginning,
regularly
* Get to know individual styles and idiosyncracies and what you have to do
to work with them and to benefit from them
* Recognise that you will actually spend more time apart then working
closely as a team. How do you communicate effectively between team
members?
* Ensure that reward is consistent with team performance. If not recognise
that this might cause problems
* Will you be surrounded by other teams? If not recognise that your
effectiveness as a team might be affected by dissatisfied or envious
outsiders

it.
I'm sure that you will get lots of other good suggestions.
