Rather, it is about applying a concise set of guiding principles to each unique group situation--and doing so in the leader's own idiosyncratic way. Based on extensive research and using compelling examples ranging from orchestras to airline cockpit crews, <i>Leading Teams</i> identifies five essential conditions--a stable team, a clear and engaging direction, an enabling team structure, a supportive organizational context, and the availability of competent coaching--that greatly enhance the likelihood of team success. The book offers a practical framework that leaders can use to muster personal skills and organizational resources to create and sustain the five key conditions and shows how those conditions can launch a team onto a trajectory of increasing effectiveness. Authoritative and astutely realistic, <i>Leading Teams</i> offers a new and provocative way of thinking about and leading work teams in any organizational setting.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>J. Richard Hackman</b> is the Cahners-Rabb Professor of Social and Organizational Psychology at Harvard University.
