The definitive classic on high-performance teams The Wisdom of
Teams is the definitive work on how to create high-performance
teams in any organization. Having sold nearly a half million copies
and been translated into more than fifteen languages, the authors'
clarion call that teams should be the basic unit of organization
for most businesses has permanently shaped the way companies reach
the highest levels of performance. Using engaging case studies and
testimonials from both successful and failed teams--ranging from
Fortune 500 companies to the U.S. Army to high school sports--the
authors explain the dynamics of teams both in great detail and with
a broad view. Their conclusions and prescriptions span the familiar
to the counterintuitive: * Commitment to performance goals and
common purpose is more important to team success than team
building. * Opportunities for teams exist in all parts of the
organization. * Real teams are the most successful spearheads of
change at all levels. * Working in teams naturally integrates
performance and learning. * Team "endings" can be as important to
manage as team "beginnings." Wisdom lies in recognizing a team's
unique potential to deliver results and in understanding its many
benefits--development of individual members, team accomplishments,
and stronger companywide performance. Katzenbach and Smith's
comprehensive classic is the essential guide to unlocking the
potential of teams in your organization.
Sources of the African Past uses original sources to build case
studies of five nineteenth-century African societies. The authors
have selected accounts from participants and observers and from
oral tradition.
