Most managers are accustomed to the premise that they are to plan, organize, lead, and control.
They are now being asked to facilitate their people in teams that plan, organize, control, and often lead. To be prepared for the new workplace realities, managers will need to be familiar with a whole new set of methods for leadership. This book helps engender the necessary knowledge and skills to make the transition to leading teams. It also makes clear the distinction between hierarchical and team environments. Tools for team-centered planning, work control, meetings, and decision making are presented in detail.
