IN this book. Richard Hackman, one of the world's leading experts on group and organizational behavior, argues that teams perform at their best when leaders create conditions that allow them to effectively manage themselves. Leading Teams is not about subscribing to a specific formula or leadership style, says Hackman. Rather, it is about applying a concise set of guiding principles to each unique group situation. Based on extensive research and using compelling examples ranging from orchestras to airline cockpit crews, Leading Teams identifies five essential conditions-a stable team, a clear and engaging direction, an enabling team structure, a supportive organizational context, and the availability of competent coaching-that greatly enhance the likelihood of team success. Authoritative and astutely realistic, Leading Teams offers a provocative new way of thinking
