  Teamwork is essential for getting things done, yet many organizations find the process fraught with problems. The solution is simple: determine the kind of teamworking you have got, decide on the kind of teamworking you need, and then start moving one to the other. This text brings together theoretical principles, case studies, real-life examples and a toolkit of useful techniques to show how this works. The book demonstrates in detail how to: get your team going and keep it on track; diagnose difficulties with the help of health checks ; put together suitable training events; turn real problems into team building opportunities; overcome obstacles with effective interventions; maximize the benefits of psychometric tests; use team-coaches to stimulate the players; tap into the talents of introverts, bullies and saboteurs; and bring a team assignment to a constructive end.
