Product Description

What are the secrets of successful teams? Why do some teams achieve remarkable success while others fail or are consigned to mediocrity? To find the answers, Larson and LaFasto conducted a three-year study of teams and team achievement. Interviewing a wide range of teams, including the space shuttle Challenger investigation team, executive management teams and a championship football team, they discovered a surprising consistency in the characteristics of effective teams.

In Teamwork, the authors explore the eight properties of successful teams: a clear, elevating goal; a results-driven structure; competent team members; unified commitment; a collaborative climate; standards of excellence; external support and recognition; and principled leadership. A final chapter examines priorities in building a high-performance team. Throughout, the authors present concrete concepts and combine solid theory with practical advice.
