$32.95

Remember the saying two heads are better than one? Well, a team brings together a diversity of talent and experience and can have better flexibility than individuals working on their own. But the trick is to get those individual members to perform in concert to make a strong and effective team. J. Richard Hackman, one of the leading experts on group and organizational behavior, explains how a leader's ability to create strategies and offer support can help team members manage themselves. In Leading Teams, Hackman presents key methods for increasing team success—regardless of the leader's personality or preferred style of operating. He identifies and tells you how to use five conditions that set the stage for great performances: a real team, a compelling direction, an enabling team structure, a supportive organizational context, and the availability of competent coaching.
