In the modern organization, considerable responsibility and   authority are delegated to and exercised by teams. Teams plan and deliver   client projects and address a wide variety of internal company needs, such   as strategic planning, system improvements, and operational   decision-making.   While any group that is brought together for a common purpose can be   labeled a "team," what characteristics make a team truly effective? How can   the "whole" become greater than the sum of the group's individual parts?   How does a team perform better than individuals might perform on their   own?  In 6 Habits of Highly Effective Teams, management consultants Stephen   E. Kohn and Vincent D. O'Connell provide a model of superior team   performance that draws on the coauthors' 50 years of combined   organizational development experience and research. Highly effective teams,   Kohn and O'Connell insist, are characterized less by the technical   competencies of individual team members and more by widespread agreement   and alignment with a small but extremely relevant set of team processes,   values, and understandings.  By focusing on and reinforcing a half dozen team "habits," groups can   develop the type of synergies that define collaborative excellence. The   model is simple and practical, but it can yield extremely powerful results   for any size organization.    Paralleling their previous publication--6 Habits of Highly Effective   Bosses--Kohn and O'Connell's combined wisdom and practical exercises will   show anyone trying to make a more potent contribution to an important team   effort exactly what to do.
