A practical guide for building and sustaining top-performing teams

Readers will gain practical skills for navigating, from a group’s creation to maintaining highly effective teams. Packed with straightforward strategies for building and supporting well-managed, high performing teams, this book examines why teams are important, how they function, and what makes them productive.

New to the Third Edition:

  • Diversity within teams. Discussions have been added throughout the text, focusing on how different ethnic and cultural groups may have differing perceptions of group interactions. The book details specific strategies for respecting divergent beliefs while remaining effective.

  • New checklists and self-evaluations. Building on those included in the Second Edition, these provide even more information on the reader’s personal leader or team member style.
  • Research references added. Readers are provided with the theory and research background for the practical, application-based material in the text.
