  This is a practical guide for everyone in business who is involved with formal or informal teams, either as a participant or a leader. It addresses the needs of teambuilding in a modern business environment, where change and flux are normal and quick response teams, corrective action teams and networking teams are vital. Managers need to bring teams together quickly. These teams may sometimes have short lives, but they must have the ability to act swiftly and effectively. The first section looks at how to design such teams and covers team contracts, characteristics of team members, the role of the team leader, how to deal with the characteristics of team members, and other potential problem areas. Section two gives you all the information you need in order to build a team, and section three looks at how to keep your team motivated and producing maximum results. Later sections give valuable advice on how to run meetings, when to disband teams, and when and how to adapt an existing team to perform another function.
