In Great Business Teams, author and management consultant Howard Guttman cracks the secrets of top performing business teams. Every organization and every team, Guttman says, faces challenges as they go about the task of solving problems and making decisions. Some seem to take challenges in stride and move quickly to resolution. Others flounder and are forced to rise to new challenges. Successful teams enable their organizations to endure as great companies. They're able to ride the cross currents in lean times and to reach for the stars in upturns. In order to discover how great business teams are formed, perform, and sustain highest levels of achievement, this book will head to the marketplace to examine a variety of teams in a variety of industries. The book will zero in on the challenges each of them face, assess how they deal with these challenges and explore their evolution to high-performance entities.
