Today's challenges can't be solved by individuals alone- only by working together can we hope to make sense of the world.But simply bringing people together is no guarantee of success.

Too often, so-called teams are just groups of individuals who come together in too many aimless meetings.

Using the author's High Performing Teams Framework, Are You a Team or a Meeting? shows team leaders and members alike how to create teams with the right people and a clear sense of purpose; focus on what the team is really there to do; set the stage for healthy challenge and open communication - and create the systems, habits and behaviours that help teams to win.
