Today's companies are fast turning to teams as a means of organising and doing work. In theory, teams increase productivity, however many companies and managers have found teams prone to problems that make them ineffective. Teams become confused about goals; they have a difficult time making descisions; individuals don't accept their roles; team members often aren't rewarded appopriately, and team leaders don't always act like one. Packed with practical questions and answers about teams, this award-winning identifies the obstacles preventing teams achieving their potential, and suggests way to remove them.
