Effective Teamwork: How to Develop a Successful Team

Effective teams can achieve far more than individuals working in isolation. Levels of job satisfaction can be higher; there can be more learning and more creativity. However, groups of people working together with poor or non-existent teamwork can face major obstacles and problems: low morale, negativity, ill-feeling and resentment, and a breeding ground for stress and burnout. Knowing what good teamwork is all about, how to promote it, what problems to be aware of and how to tackle them is therefore all important – an essential basis for any team leader or manager. But it isn’t just the manager who need to be aware of all this. In this important e-book Neil Thompson argues that all team members have a part to play in making teamwork effective and successful. The leader’s role is to shape the culture and environment in which team members will want to play their part.

This is an invaluable short guide for anyone involved in promoting effective teamwork and the benefits it can bring.
