Description: The authors shows that breakthrough success is guided by a particular breed of high-performing team that generates its own momentum, an engaged group of colleagues in the trenches, working passionately together to pursue a shared vision. They have determined a key set of characteristics displayed by members of breakthrough teams, and have identified a set of rules great teams live by, which generate a culture of positive teamwork and lead to extraordinary results. Using a wealth of specific stories from the breakthrough teams they studied, they reveal in detail how these teams operate and how managers can transform their own teams into such high performers.--[book jacket]
