Synopsis :

`Creating Effective Teams takes readers by the hand through the four developmental stages of getting from group creation to highly effective teams. It is packed with strategies for building and supporting well-managed, high-performing teams. The author provides ample checklists and case examples to guide members and leaders through their groups′ developmental states and to help them work through the times when they inevitably get stuck. She does an amazing job of summarizing a vast literature of empirical research on team functioning and development into a comprehensive yet uncomplicated, straightforward guide. She supports detailed explanations of how to start, build, and sustain a team with real-life examples from her many years of consulting experience. This book is a must for anyone whose work requires teamwork′- Andrea Markowitz, University of Baltimore

This practical guide to building and sustaining top performing teams is based on the author′s experience with teams. She tells us why teams are important, how they function and what makes them productive and unproductive.The developmental nature of teams is illustrated and what happens at each stage is described.
