The Student's Guide to Successful Project Teams
"Bill Kahn has produced a wonderful book that I've waited a long time for. Helping students work better in teams is a challenge I face every time I teach. Kahn has produced just the book to give students insights they need to understand and negotiate the predictable vicissitudes of team life. The result should be teams that frustrate less, learn more, and get more done."-Lee Bolman, The University of Missouri-Kansas City, Bloch School of Business and Public Administration"What's great about this book is that it centers the lessons on student teams. As a consequence, I think the material will be more meaningful to students. This will be useful in many types of courses that use teams, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Accordingly, it could serve as a required text in a groups and teams course such as the one I teach to the MBA students, or as a supplement in a course with a heavy team component (a course where there is a major group project or many small group projects)."-Jeff LePine, University of Florida, Warrington College of Business Administration"I think this book would be an excellent supplement to a standard Organizational Behavior textbook and would serve to open the class up to a rich learning experience. The biggest feature of the book is that it encourages appropriate, useful conversations within teams. I think that its emphasis on interaction and attention to process give it great applied value. The book's use of examples helps put the theory into action and helps create the bridge between data and practice in real groups"-Bryan Bonner, University of Utah, David Eccles School of Business
