Summary
Building Smart Teams is an essential guide to creating high-performance teams fast. Based on research results from close to 2,000 individuals organized in more than 250 teams, this text identifies the three critical skill sets that teams need and shows how to transfer these skills to a group. The authors' research and experience show that, by concentrating no these three critical skill sets, a group is almost certain to become a high-performing team quickly. Building Smart Teams gives the theory and rationale behind high performance teams, but in addition it is packed with exercises, diagnostic tools, tips, and techniques to use with groups.
