""A fascinating study of creative teamwork. The final chapter on
how to "turbo-charge" less-than-exceptional teams is worth the
cover price of the book." "Director
""What a pleasure to read... the case studies are excellent."
-"The Financial Times, July 2005
Lead a very special kind of team. The virtuoso team.
At the heart of a great change or creative breakthrough you will
often find a dynamic team of inspired individuals who work together
to break out of the common place and make something remarkable
happen. A team that generates more creativity, more energy and the
very best performance.
This is a book about those revolutionary teams that are
catalysts for big change and breakthrough performances. Unlimited
by the conventional approach to teamwork "Virtuoso Teams" are
frequently contentious and always less comfortable, but if you can
pull together the right people and manage them in the right way,
the results can be extraordinary. Virtuoso teams don't last
forever, but their members almost always go on to become leaders in
their field's next generation.
The rules of the game are different for virtuoso teams and their
leaders. This book will show you how to play to the standards of
some of the greatest uncompromising, creative and catalytic teams
of our times. Andy Boynton & Bill Fisher introduce you to some
of the most compelling and wide-ranging stories of remarkable team
leadership ever assembled, from Miles Davis, a serial innovator who
surrounded himself with virtuoso talent at least three times, to
change the face of jazz, to Thomas Edison, The Manhattan Project to
West Side Story. Find out how these teams set out to revolutionize
their worlds, and how you can build and manage a "Virtuoso Team" of
your own.
Whether you're launching an innovative new product or service;
entering into challenging new markets or simply trying to transform
the way you operate, virtuoso teams can make the difference between
achieving a high-impact success and just another modest
outcome.
""I never thought I would be extolling the virtues of a book on
Virtuoso Teams unless it specifically pertained to baseball.
Nevertheless here I am praising a book on the advisability of
developing Virtuoso Teams--regardless of the type of organization
in which you belong."
"If you aspire to develop an organization of high-performers or
take an organization of high-performers to an even higher "next
level"-- Andy Boynton and Bill Fischer's Virtuoso Teams is a
definite must read ""
"George Steinbrenner, Managing General Partner, New YorkYankees
