What Is the Book About?
Team Management: Achieving Business Results Through Teams is a step-by-step manual for improving the performance of an organization by Team Management. Team Management is a set of high-commitment, high-capability management practices.
The book has three audiences: team leaders and members, senior leaders, and internal change agents. A team leader can guide his or her team through the steps to improve the individual team. A senior leader can initiate Team Management to institute a true team system. An internal change agent can use the book as an implementation roadmap. The chapters are:
Chapter 1: Team Formation describes the core ideas of Team Management and how to give the team a clear, solid start by defining its mission, outputs, and vision for the future.
Chapter 2: Team Effectiveness establishes the team meeting as the interactive event through which the team runs its business through scorecard review, problem solving, and action planning.
Chapter 3: Problem Solving describes the steps of problem definition, analysis of root causes, data collection and evaluation, generation of ideas, and action planning for solutions.
Chapter 4: Workflow Improvement shows how to define, map, and improve the team’s key workflows.
Chapter 5: Leader as Coach describes how team leaders can analyze the causes of good or poor performance and make changes that influence behavior.
Chapter 6: Leading Indicators shows how to identify measures that are early indicators of performance so that the team can influence results before they are final.
Chapter 7: Systems Thinking describes looking at the whole system to see repeating cycles of behavior, interrupt counterproductive cycles, and establish productive ones.
We believe that Team Management: Achieving Business Results Through Teams crystallizes the essential management practices and routines that every organization – and every individual team – should have.
