Though based on more than 550 scientific and professional sources, The SuddenTeams Program has little in the way of history, theory, or arguments for teaming. Instead, it is a step-by-step manual that will help you convert a work group into a ?true team,? optimize a good existing team, or solve team problems. Included are preparation and team training procedures, a guide to managing true teams, and forms and examples. You also get more than 70 pages of techniques for troubleshooting a wide range of teamwork issues.
