Book Overview
The transition towards a team-based organization has gained tremendous momentum in the past decade. As the multidisciplinary team (rather than the individual) has become the basic unit of production, cross-functional team design seems to be the only viable solution to managing innovation, uncertainty, dynamism and complexity in organizations. This paradigm shift has dramatically impacted the way people work in organizations and consequently the skills that are required to succeed as an organizational member, a manager and/or a leader.
The Team Revolution puts multi-disciplinary team processes at the forefront, using a process-approach to highlight:
Qualities and methods that make multi-disciplinary teams effective;
What separates the effective from the ineffective teams;
The roles, norms and dynamics that typify cross-functional teamwork;
The skills are required to lead such teams
The author takes the reader along as the multi-disciplinary team is composed, chartered, launched, developed, facilitated, measured, rewarded and dissolved, allowing readers a fuller understanding of the unique successes and challenges facing such a team across the timeline of its development. This book equips students with the knowledge and skills required to succeed as a member or leader of a multi-disciplinary team or organization.
