Recommendation

Robert W. Barner has produced a remarkable resource. Lucid, organized, utterly practical and results-oriented, this cookbook for team builders and members belongs on every organization’s bookshelf. Barner has condensed everything he has learned from two decades of consulting and team-building experience into a five-step process for improving team relationships and performance.

Bottom line: getAbstract.com considers this an essential resource for managers, team leaders and team members.
