Business Week recently reported that self-directed work teams are, on average, 30% to 50% more productive than their conventional counterparts.
The problem is that making the transition to a team environment requires a different type of leadership philosophy. This insightful book takes you through a sequential process that will enable you to:
* Manage the balance between the technical aspects of team functions and the dynamics of the human interactions that are at the core of any team's success.
* Focus on the communication process that will ensure the learning content is portrayed in a positive way.
* Run accurate pilot tests of improved team processes.
