Team Art: The Science of Success in the Primary Human Organization

Seemingly strong teams can fall short of set objectives, while teams perceived to be weak surpass all expectations and hit the jackpot. Why is this? Team Art draws on expert understanding of the principles of social psychology and business strategy to reveal defining characteristics that are common to all high performance teams. Team assembly, structuring and evolution are examined in depth, with helpful diagrams and messages highlighting what constitutes productive decision-making at crucial junctures. While it is no surprise the author gives detailed attention to the way human beings communicate, his emphasis on the importance of individual team members possessing a high degree of self-knowledge is an original line of thinking on this topic. Team Art is an essential guide for managers at all levels who are ambitious about getting maximum output from staff - and helping their organisation succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
