Setting Teams Up for Success

by Max Isaac and Kevin Carson

Book Overview

Setting Teams Up for Success explores the tactics essential to operating an effective project team: selecting the team, mission/charter, assigning responsibilities, process ground rules, and learning and feedback activities. Most managers have been taught to put together a team based primarily on people's knowledge about the process or problem being studied. This single-dimensional approach unintentionally sets up a lot of teams for failure because they have the wrong mix of personal styles and skills. Likewise, it puts individual team members in a position where they often cannot play to their strengths. The result is mediocre teams at best. To reverse this trend, Max Isaac and Kevin Carson have drawn on their many years of experience and the pioneering research of Dr. Meredith Belbin to develop practical guidelines for selecting and managing consistently successful teams.
