Yet when teams gets started, they often work less well than an individual. What's needed to get from here to there? That's what this book is all about.

A common problem is putting a team together, giving them a task, and waiting for the good results. That won't work. People have to have the right skills, knowledge, information, tools, and attitude to perform. That includes experience with working together on teams. For example, if you put a bunch of Internet-oriented people together on a team to play basketball against the Lakers, the results might not be too good for your new team. Bill Jenson's book, Simplicity, is a good resource on this point, as well.

This book does a good job of showing you how you can help the green team become the great team. If you want to enjoy more success in your enterprise, this book is essential reading.

The conversational style of the one minute manager books comes over well in print but looses greatly in this format, with this narrator.

the information is basic and available in better forms elsewhere, (Industrial society "Teambuilding",& many others).

I wish I'd spent my money on something else.
