  The growing management practice of teamwork relies on the notion that a team will produce a greater level of performance than a group of individuals working alone. Yet all too often the whole is less than the sum of its parts. Teams can work well but they must be planned and developed to maximize their potential. A Team of Equals demonstrates how to build and develop successful teams. Built around a self-assessment questionnaire to be answered by all team members, the technique builds on the strengths and management styles of each individual in the team. No team role is seen as better or worse than another, but all management roles (planning, controlling, adminstering) must be covered by one or more of the team members in order for a team to work successfully. This is the key to increasing team satisfaction and to building a team that will hold together when the pressure is on.
