About this Item

Print on Demand. This book introduces a program for team development and explores its application in real-world scenarios. The author challenges dominant approaches that prioritize interpersonal skills or abstract knowledge, instead advocating for a focus on the team's task, roles, and processes. The program is designed as a sequence of modules, addressing goal definition, role clarification, and the refinement of processes. By integrating these concepts with a hierarchical theory of team development, the book provides a structured approach that empowers teams to analyze and enhance their own functioning. The insights offered in this book empower teams to become more effective and cohesive, highlighting the transformative role of task-oriented development in improving organizational performance.

About this title

Synopsis

Practical Team Development helps you boost real teamwork in eight weeks

This practical program offers a half-day-per-week format to improve goals, roles, and procedures within a team. It focuses on real-world work, tailoring steps to the group’s own data and challenges rather than theory alone. The approach spreads development across eight weeks, helping teams integrate new practices into everyday work while reducing entry and re-entry strain.

Built for managers, consultants, and teams seeking durable behavior change, the program emphasizes actionable steps over lectures. It combines a clear structure with room for team ownership, guiding participants from diagnosing current performance to implementing concrete improvements in goals, roles, and processes. The design aims to deliver practical know-how that teams can internalize and reuse.

• Learn a structured, eight-week process that targets goals, roles, and processes
• Use a half-day weekly format that fits into normal work routines
• Move from diagnosis to concrete actions with increasing team responsibility
• Apply a practical framework that emphasizes real-world results over theory

Ideal for readers who want a hands-on, repeatable approach to improving team performance.
