From the Back Cover

"The work of teams is just plain hard; it need not, however, be complex. In fact, a team is a simple unit-perhaps the most basic performance unit in any organization other than individual performers. Moreover, because a team is a natural unit formed to address issues requiring multiple skills and leadership roles, it has been relied on literally for centuries.... The simplicity of the team concept is what makes it so powerful-when it is pursued with discipline and resolve." -From the introduction by Jon R. Katzenbach
