You may have mastered every other skill a manager could possibly learn, but none of that will matter if you have not learnt to build and sustain your team effectively to begin with. Most tasks in modern business are carried out by teams, so the skill of ensuring that your team works to the best of its abilities is vital if you are to achieve your business aims. In "Effective Teambuilding" John Adair, Britain's foremost expert on leadership training, teaches you everything you need to know to enable you to: select the right people to create the strong foundations your team needs; encourage your team members to work well together and use each other's skills to complement their own; sustain group morale and motivation; and, raise standards of performance throughout the team. - from Amzon
