This is a highly-accessible and exceedingly well-researched book on the science of teams and team effectiveness. Written in an inviting tone, and packed full of examples and illustrations, it will appeal to both new and seasoned scholars, practitioners, managers and leaders. * Dr Andreas Xyrichis, Kingâs College London, Journal of Interprofessional Care *Too many teams are less than the sum of their parts. Scott Tannenbaum and Eduardo Salas are here to change that. Their book makes the science of team effectiveness accessible and actionable. * Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of ORIGINALS and GIVE AND TAKE, and host of the TED podcast WorkLife *Finally! A book on teams that doesn’t oversimplify or gloss over the very real challenges of teamwork in the modern workplace. Tannenbaum and Salas have given us an invaluable resource-one that is comprehensive, exceedingly well-researched, detailed, rigorously cited, and somehow manages to be useful at the same time. Teams That Work is a tour de force. * Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School and author of The Fearless Organization *A thoughtful and practical framework for building a highly effective team, based on research not myths. * John McCallion, Chief Financial Officer, MetLife Inc *Leadership matters. And effectively building and leading teams of leaders matters even more no matter what size the organization. Teams That Work offers research-based and real world evidence of the science and art involved in building * and more importantly, sustaining-highly effective teams.
