By Renie McClay

This book is available as an ebook now through ASTD's new service: Content Express!

Most projects or initiatives in today’s organizations begin with the formation of a team, yet the majority of resources available for this core business activity are long on description and short on advice. 10 Steps to Successful Teams provides this missing, practical, easy-to-implement advice. Using a holistic, process-oriented approach, the book carefully guides readers through the process of building strong new teams or improving even the best existing teams.

 

The book includes extensive assessments and tools created just for this book to help team leaders manage conflict and improve communication. You will find individual team member and leader self-assessments to help focus the team on getting results and to identify areas for improvement. One key feature of the book is Tips from Teams Members, which is designed to give advice on what works in team environments and how to avoid common pitfalls. A similar recurring element throughout the book offers advice from the field to team leaders.

 

10 Steps to Successful Teams is a holistic, practical, process-oriented approach to leading and managing teams focused on achieving organizational results.

 

"In today's rapidly evolving world, effective teams are critical to business success. With companies downsizing, resizing, and outsourcing, leaders must understand the ins and outs of building successful, cross-functional teams. In her new book, 10 Steps to Successful Teams, Renie McClay details a winning formula, including relevant examples, forms, and worksheets, for building and maintaining such teams. This book will become an oft-used resource for leaders trying to navigate the new economy."
