Book description
In Superteams, renowned teamwork specialist Khoi Tu explains
how to make sure your team delivers consistently superior results and
emerges stronger from the inevitable crises you will face.
What do the SAS, Ferrari and the Rolling Stones have in common?
Their success is about much more than talented individuals. They are
Superteams.
Every organisation, whether a business or a sports club, lives or
dies by the quality of its teamwork. No man can be an island for long;
only great teams can face a crisis and emerge stronger. So how do you
build the right team? Many people think of it like a rock supergroup:
bring the best of the best together and magic will happen. Yet
supergroups often flop, while bands of unknowns rise to the top.
In this incisive and inspirational book, renowned teamwork
specialist Khoi Tu explains how to make sure your team delivers
consistently superior results, whatever your aim: averting business
failure or resolving political conflict, dealing with a hostage
situation or leading your team to sporting victory.
Superteams takes seven legendary teams - including animation
studio Pixar, Europe's 2010 Rider Cup winners, and the people behind
the Northern Ireland peace process - and analyses their inner
workings, evolution and defining moments.
