BUILDING SUCCESSFUL TEAMS

A veteran personal development author reads a compact lesson on teamwork. A seasoned speaker, Butterworth is at once warming to the heart and gently authoritative. With wisdom typical of his other management books, he says teams work best when members are respected, given the freedom to contribute their best work, know the “box” in which they work, and think of the team’s mission as a shared goal. Butterworth puts new life into these principles with richly told stories from his consulting practice and the world of sports. Butterworth’s relaxed confidence and many helpful ideas will provide a motivational pick-me-up for people in any type of work group. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
