Description
A team is one of the most basic and enduring organizational groups. When confronted with complex projects requiring multiple skills, many teams come together willingly, with an almost instinctive understanding among the individual members that a collective approach is their best strategy for success. And as hierarchies crumble, resources shrink, and competitive intensity rises, today's companies are more likely than ever before to seize on team- work as an easy solution for meeting aggres- sive goals. With teamwork so widely embraced, why do so many managers meet with unexpected frustration when their teams prove difficult to predict and control? Unfortunately, teamwork is not the same thing as real team performance. In The Work of Teams, best- selling author and team expert Jon Katzenbach selects articles from the Harvard Business Review that address both the challenges and the rewards that await every team effort.
