Rich Karlgaard and Michael Malone deconstruct the makings of effective teams in their newly published book, “Team Genius: The New Science of High-Performing Organizations.”
Blending recent scientific research with case studies and their personal experiences as journalists, analysts, investors and entrepreneurs, the authors guide executives through the tenets of top-performing teams.
Among the specifics of team building and dynamics they address: How leaders can redevelop subpar teams into teams that excel, how to gauge which top teams in a company are close to their end, and how to piece together the right-sized teams for particular jobs.
The authors also illuminate “new truths” about team management and operations, such as the assertions that the right team size is typically one fewer person than leaders think they should have, and good chemistry often produces poor teams.
The book is directed toward next generation leaders who will need to assemble robust teams that can rise to industry and marketplace demands.
“Team Genius” is available on www.800ceoread.com for $22.39.
