Richard Hackman, one of the world's leading experts on group and
organizational behavior, argues that teams perform at their best
when leaders create conditions that allow them to manage themselves
effectively. Leading Teams is not about subscribing to a specific
formula or leadership style, says Hackman. Rather, it is about
applying a concise set of guiding principles to each unique group
situation--and doing so in the leader's own idiosyncratic way.
Based on extensive research and using compelling examples ranging
from orchestras to airline cockpit crews, Leading Teams identifies
five essential conditions--a stable team, a clear and engaging
direction, an enabling team structure, a supportive organizational
context, and the availability of competent coaching--that greatly
enhance the likelihood of team success. The book offers a practical
framework that leaders can use to muster personal skills and
organizational resources to create and sustain the five key
conditions and shows how those conditions can launch a team onto a
trajectory of increasing effectiveness. Authoritative and astutely
realistic, Leading Teams offers a new and provocative way of
thinking about and leading work teams in any organizational
setting.
An organisation's fate hinges on its CEO - right? Not according to
the authors of Senior Leadership Teams. They argue that in today's
world of neck-snapping change, demands on leaders in top roles are
rapidly outdistancing the capabilities of any one person - no
matter how talented. Result? Chief executives are turning to their
enterprise's senior leaders for help. Yet many CEOs stumble when
creatinga leadership team. One major challenge is that senior
executives often focus more on their individual roles than on the
top team's shared work. Without the CEO's careful attention to
setting the team up correctly, these high-powered managers often
have difficulty pulling together to move their organisation
forward. Sometimes they don't even agree about what constitutes the
right path forward.The authors explain how to determine whether
your organisation needs a senior leadership team. Then, drawing on
their study of 100+ top teams from around the world, they explain
how to create a clear and compelling purpose for your team, get the
right people on it, provide structure and support, and sharpen team
members' competencies - and your own. Timely and practical, this
book enables you to create and sustain a leadership team whose
members learn from one another while collaborating to pursue your
company's objectives.
