Why you should read Winning Teams
If you’re one of the holdouts still managing your employees in what consultants would scornfully describe as a "hierarchical" style, you fall squarely into the target audience for Winning Teams A sparse 105 pages are filled with general pointers about the benefits that your business can derive from teams, the strategies you should use to make your teams successful and pitfalls you should avoid. What the book lacks, however, are real-life examples. A few short case studies of teams in action would have added to the book’s credibility (not to mention its page count). Despite this deficiency, getAbstract recommends Winning Teams which achieves its purpose by introducing the command-and-control generation to the concept of teams and providing a bevy of tips on motivating people, inspiring cooperation and building trust.
