Packed with straightforward strategies for building and supporting well-managed, high-performing teams, this book examines why teams are important, how they function, and what makes them productive. Discussions throughout the text focus on diversity within teams: how different ethnic and cultural groups may have differing perceptions of group interactions. The book details specific strategies for respecting divergent beliefs while remaining effective. Checklists and self-evaluations provide even more information on the reader's personal leader or team member style and research references provide readers with the theory and research background for the practical, application-based material in the text.
