This book offers practical, evidence-based solutions to help professionals implement and support effective teamwork. Lantz, Ulber and Friedrich draw on their considerable professional experience to present common problems in team-based organizations, what empirical research tells us the causes are and which solutions are more effective in overcoming team-based obstacles. In The Problems with Teamwork, and How to Solve Them, nine common problems are identified, ranging from lack of leadership and adaptability to conflict and cohesiveness, accompanied by clear instructions on how to approach and resolve the individual issues. Detailed case studies are presented throughout the book, demonstrating how theory can be applied to real-life situations to produce optimal results for both the team and the larger organisation. By combining theory and practice, and using state-of-the-art research, the book constructs a cognitive map for identifying problem causes and effect, and step-by-step instructions on how to solve problems. This is essential reading for anyone working in team-based organizations, as well as students and academics in related areas such as organizational psychology and organizational behaviour.

Das Buch vermittelt zunachst theoretische und praktische Grundlagen von Beobachtung, die fur alle Beobachtungskontexte in der Fruhpadagogik von Belang sind. Danach erfolgen spezifische Ausfuhrungen fur die Bereiche Beobachtung von Kindern, Beobachtung von Professionellen sowie Beobachtung im Rahmen von Qualitatsentwicklung. Dabei werden Fallbeispiele besprochen und vorliegende Verfahren kritisch vorgestellt. Das Buch schliesst mit einer Anleitung dazu, wie in der Praxis situationsspezifische Beobachtungsverfahren konzipiert werden konnen, die zu aussagekraftigen und belastbaren Ergebnissen fuhren. Die Darstellung verbindet einen hohen Praxisbezug sowie die konkrete Umsetzbarkeit der Inhalte mit wissenschaftlich fundierten Massstaben, die beispielsweise fur die konkrete Planung von Beobachtungssituationen Orientierung geben.
