Product Description:
A popular maxim states that the only constant in business today is change. Whether the result of growth opportunities, new competition, technological advances or other internal and external factors, every business enterprise must manage change. Since the 1980s, companies have experimented with a method for driving change—High Performance Teams (HPTs), work teams that achieve a quantum leap in results in less than a year. Drawing from over 25 years of experience with HPTs, Marc Hanlan traces their history in a wide variety of industries, analyzes the key factors that contribute to success—or failure—and offers a comprehensive guide to building and managing them successfully.
Featuring dozens of case examples and a detailed template for translating plans into action, High Performance Teams shows you how to: prepare the organization, select team leaders and members, set goals, accelerate development times, overcome obstacles, and measure results. Including an extensive bibliography and glossary of key terms and concepts, High Performance Teams will become an indispensable resource for business executives and owners, team leaders and members, and facilitators, trainers, consultants, and coaches. For shareholders, customers, and students of organizational behavior, High Performance Teams offers unique insight into the dynamics of breakthrough business performance.
Summary: Outstanding, Spot-on and Insightful
Rating: 5
I met and worked with Marc on a project last Fall. He is one of the thought leaders within the industry. First, I found the book spot-on. Second, it is on the mark for ODC professionals with guidance. I feel that is a must read and highly recommend the book!
Summary: A High Performing Book on High Performing Teams
Rating: 5
As someone familiar with High Performance Work Teams (HPT) and what it takes to achieve rapid breakthrough results of 50% or better in customer, shareholder, employee, and operational value – all at the same time- I consider High-Performance Teams: How to Make Them Work a must-read. Currently, everyone who does business and organizational consulting uses the phrase High Performance, but this is the real deal when it comes to bona fide HPTs.
Hanlan’s book is densely packed with information and examples of what works and what doesn’t work when developing High Performance Work teams. It gives a history and addresses the theoretical underpinnings of HPTs. But it also explains how to create High Performing Teams and organizations, step-by-step.
High-Performance Teams: How to Make Them Work could accurately be described as a handbook for those who want to successfully lead and support teams.
