Clearly written and packed with practical team training exercises from the author's experience in over 25 years of working with teams, TOOLS FOR TEAM EXCELLENCE provides comprehnsive information on building, assessing, and improving team performance. Crafted specifically for use by team members, these exercises, normally available only through professional corporate trainers, cannot be found in any other source. Going beyond the purely philosophical approaches or trendy fads outlined in current management literature, TOOLS FOR TEAM ECELLENCE describes seven key components necessary for creating effective teams: specific targets, appropriate talent, clear roles and responsibilities, efficient procedures, constructive interpersonal relations, active reinforcement, and diplomatic ties with other parts of the organization. Addressing the gap that often appears between theory and practice, this book provides a host of strategies, techniques, and team-building tools honed by experience--exercises and worksheets, questionnaires, assessment techniques, problem-solving guidelines, and troubleshooting tips.
