In the modern organization most tasks are accomplished by teams. This bestselling manual brings together basic theory, a diagnostic instrument, descriptions of the key elements of effective teamwork and a detailed guide to sources of further information to help, both in the UK and overseas. A particularly valuable feature is the ’building blocks’ questionnaire that allows the manager or trainer to identify specific weaknesses in his or her team and to decide an appropriate action for overcoming them. The companion volume 50 Activities for Teambuilding provides a unique collection of structured experiences for use with the manual. With its practical, down-to-earth approach, Team Development Manual will appeal to managers in every type of organization, as well as to personnel and training specialists and advisers - in short, to everyone with an interest in improving the way people work together.
