More than a fad, teaming is proving to be a new way of
organizational life, with eight out of every ten employees now
involved in some kind of teamwork. But how exactly does one play on
a team at work? While there are plenty of manuals, trainers, and
theories that help managers create, lead, and reward teams, actual
team members are often left struggling without a handbook or a
coach.
With refreshing clarity and common sense, Maureen O'Brien, a team
expert with more than twenty years of experience as a player,
coach, and business consultant, offers one-on-one coaching tips to
team players in Who's Got the Ball? The author covers all the
bases, from setting a team's goals and articulating its noble
purpose, to banishing boring meetings, deciding how to make
decisions, and even using flip charts effectively. Friendly and
conversational, O'Brien offers experience-based, easy-to-implement
guidelines that are eminently practical and surprisingly fun. Her
concise coaching notes, wonderfully illustrated by real-life
organizational situations, address every aspect of daily team life,
including: creating a workable team structure * being a valuable
team member * avoiding common teamwork traps * running an effective
team meeting * making and implementing decisions * leading a team.
From developing a new team and determining just what kind of game
your team is playing--individualistic baseball, interdependent
basketball, or tightly orchestrated football--to dealing with
personality-based conflicts, knowing when to take a time-out, and
honoring a project's most valuable player, Who's Got the Ball? is
an invaluable guide to surviving--and thriving--on today's work
teams.
