Description
Winning is a team sport, right? True, we need to collaborate to make sense of today's challenges. But simply bringing people together is no guarantee of success. Too often, so-called teams are just groups of individuals, attending too many aimless meetings. It doesn't have to be that way.
Using the author's high-performing teams framework, Are You a Team or a Meeting? shows team leaders and members alike how to:
- Create teams of the right size and composition
- Focus on team purpose to help you prioritise
- Encourage healthy challenge and open communication
- Develop systems, habits, and behaviours that help teams win
