Are You a Team or a Meeting? (Paperback)

How to Build Teams That Win: An Economist Edge book

Nick Pope

An all-new guide to building and sustaining high performing teams

Winning is a team sport, right?

True, we need to collaborate to make sense of today's challenges. But simply bringing people together is no guarantee of success. Too often, so-called teams are just groups of individuals, attending too many aimless meetings.

It doesn't have to be that way. Using the author's high-performing teams framework, Are You a Team or a Meeting? shows team leaders and members alike how to:

* create teams of the right size and composition
* focus on team purpose to help you prioritise
* encourage healthy challenge and open communication
* develop systems, habits and behaviours that help teams win
