Making Teams Work

Making Teams Work – Michael Maginn

Putting people together in a group does not automatically make them a team. Michael Maginn’s concise guide explains what it takes to turn a group of individuals into a team that delivers results.

Making Teams Work focuses on the practical rules behind successful teamwork. Maginn shows how to agree on a shared goal, make sure every member understands their role and responsibilities, build trust and communicate clearly. He also explains why conflict is not something to avoid at all costs, and how open, constructive disagreement can actually help a team make better decisions.

The book belongs to a series of quick reads designed for busy professionals. Each chapter goes straight to the main ideas and the actions that put them into practice, so readers can pick up useful techniques in a single sitting and apply them at work the same day.

Whether you lead a team, belong to one or are about to start a new project with colleagues, the advice is clear, realistic and easy to remember. The short format also makes it a handy reference to return to whenever a team needs to get back on track.

Practical and to the point, Making Teams Work is ideal for managers, team leaders, project coordinators and anyone who wants to work more effectively with others.
