A Practical Guide For Understanding and Transforming Teams
About Diagnosing Your Team
Corporate America loves to form teams. Ninety-eight percent of employees are part of at least one team. Many large organizations have thousands of teams meeting on a weekly basis. Unfortunately, the problem with the business world’s emphasis on teams is that most of them fail. Multiple studies have shown that almost two thirds of teams are unhealthy and unproductive. Meanwhile, only about 10 percent are considered truly elite.
In this practical guide, respected author and speaker Grant Thompson draws on his 25 years of experience in developing and coaching teams to reveal the common reasons so many teams are unsuccessful. Thompson also provides an assessment tool that allows you to begin diagnosing and improving the health of your own team.
With a simple, straightforward approach, Thompson shares insightful and sometimes humorous stories of teams he has worked with, including interviews with successful team leaders. Diagnosing Your Team will help you propel your team from critical condition to one that is healthy, high-functioning and capable of great things.
