Written by the authors of Zapp and Empowered Teams , this book takes a look at how 20 world-class organizations are winning through teamwork. A
brilliantly succinct study offering plenty of invaluable behind-the-scenes
peaks, Inside Teams also shares important insights into the latest technologies
in team system designs. Inside Teams was written to allay your concerns
about implementing teams. By learning from the mistakes and successes of other
organizations, you can gain the confidence to bring about significant change.
We describe why teams were chosen as an organizational direction, how they were
started, the problems they encountered, the successes achieved, the lessons
learned -- exactly what one would seek from a benchmarking trip.
Of enormous benefit to senior managers, supervisors and team members about
to make transition decisions, forge new visions, change job responsibilities and
skills or face the trauma of downsizing or rightsizing in the immediate future,
Inside Teams asks all the right questions. Presented in three parts: Start-up
and Early Stages, Experienced and Maturing Stages and Lessons Learned, the book
provides an outstanding summary of best practices, predictions about the journey
toward empowerment and an outline of common trends and key differences among the
case studies. A must have, reader-friendly guidebook.
