Download Team Building: Creating, Focusing, & Energizing Teams AudioBook Free

This audiobook emphasizes that teams aren't silver bullets or panaceas for solving problems. The author describes the classic pitfall Harvard Business School professors let students belong to when met with a challenge: call a meeting; generate a team or taskforce. Then your professor says, "And do what, exactly?" This is the team-building challenge: what now ?, exactly? Some listeners have commented that the writer doesn't "like" teams. The author doesn't like or dislike teams. He believes, as Harvard professors state, that teams tend to be created as a stop-gap measure and not thought through properly. This audiobook attempts to clear away that clutter and proceed to the essential steps to create a powerful team. In the Introduction, the writer emphasizes that teams are inherently powerful and can be considered a tremendous force for change and accomplishment if created and nurtured properly. The author warns that can be an expensive and time-consuming process though, so the leading manager must determine if the end result will justify your time and effort. Tom Peters applauds skunk works because they are a little "swat team" with a precise mission on a limited budget. This author shows how to build such a team, the eight criteria for selecting members, and how to truly have a trial run with limited objectives - much like training camp before the season starts - before trying a large-scale mission. That is a must listen for everyone considering team building, because it has warranted skepticism as well as practical, useful tips and ways of accomplish team goals.
