The problem with this solution is you wind up with a broken dog. No, the solution is a renegotiation of the relationship you have with your dog.

Authors Robbins and Finley present practical solutions to the problems with and misconceptions about teams that will be valuable to any organization inclined to assign teams to work on legitimate operational issues.
