World Class Teams: Working Across Borders

Rating:
Summary: Highly Recommended!
Review: Lynda C. McDermott, Nolan Brawley and William W. Waite present an excellent guide to creating effective cross-functional teams that operate across international boundaries. This hands-on book is directed to those involved in setting up, leading or coaching teams. While the authors include some intriguing examples of successful teams, this is more of a workbook that describes the procedures for setting up teams and measuring their performance. Practical executives will find lists of questions to ask and steps to take in this well-organized description of the managerial process, from setting up teams to rewarding successful efforts. The book is clearly written, despite some long, unwieldy sentences. We [...] recommend this solid book to managers and executives, team leaders, human resource and organizational development professionals, and other participants who contribute to or benefit from the work of international teams.
