The Wisdom of Teams
by Jon R Katzenbach & Douglas K Smith
(Harper Business 317 pp)
This is not a touchy feely book about teams. It is about the hard discipline balanced with the fun that goes into making teams succeed and is a "must read" for anyone who is serious about teams. A living book, it helps organisations and individuals embark on the team journey. Real life examples at all stages help and clarify understanding. We have used it extensively in our day-to-day work on teams and some key learnings for us have been
- Teams withstand change better than individuals
- Truly high performance teams are rare
- Teams are not always the solution
- Organisations need to deal with obstacles that face real teams
- Teams do come to an "end".
