Obstacles to growth and performance need to be removed. Katzenbach and Smith detail the many ways in which teams move beyond the obstacles and free the organization to maximize its potential. The Wisdom of Teams is a visionary book that effectively argues the merits of using teams in a wide variety of organizations. As teams are formed, acknowledging the gifts and talents of church and conference leaders, the church becomes more connected. Teams allow more people to engage in real ministry, and the Body of Christ is strengthened.
Teams provide the church with a challenging model for ministry in a complex and fast-changing world.
The guidelines and detailed illustrations throughout the book make team building understandable and highly desirable. Teams are not merely the wave of the future. Unless an organization seriously explores the wisdom of teams today, it may not have a future. The time for teams is now.
