Few
people would deny the importance of teams and
teamwork in getting things done today. Unfortunately,
the sad reality is that team efforts commonly
do no live up to exceptions. For all the attention
that teams have received in recent years, team
performance tends to be unsatisfactory in most
organizations
In this CD, Dr. James Lewis -- a world renown
authority on teams and team building -- provides
his views on what's wrong without the way teams
are formulated and managed. Using humor and
practical examples, he suggests techniques
and insights for improving team performance.
While he acknowledges that most attempts at
teamwork are suboptimal, he holds the view
that when done right, teams can generate awesome
results.
