Due to the nature of their work and personalities, many professionals prefer to do things on their own, in their own way. This text provides advice to those who have to lead teams of such people, whether in law and accountancy firms, advertising agencies or architectural practices. It shows how to meet the challenge of fostering and maintaining a well co-ordinated, high-performance team capable of achieving clear business objectives. The key is in a light touch - encouraging and supporting, rather than directing and controlling. Drawing on first-hand interviews with almost 100 leaders and team members, the book also offers quesionnaires, exercises, direct quotes and revealing examples. Topics include the basics of leadership, strategy and change, coaching, assessing team and individual performance, and influencing skills.
