Ron Archer on Teams

On Teams looks at both the "how to" of establishing healthy teams, and the need for them. Ron Archer shows you why team-building in the business world is a matter of do or die, and how you'll breed success using the power of teams in your family and community life. Archer defines a successful team as a group of people working together toward a shared purpose with a mutuality and respect for one another - an organism. With this in mind, you'll learn the concepts that keep your organism, the team, flourishing: incubation vs. incineration, employee empowerment, the four Cs, and good and credible leaders. Through actual team-building cases, training exercises, applicable charts and useful tests. On Teams prepares you to sustain the global competitive edge by making a break from management philosophies of the past, shrinking your hierarchy and doing more with less; form a cohesive unit of highly motivated, highly skilled and properly trained people by starting with a leader who understands empowerment; create a solid foundation by appropriately choosing an executive steering committee; hurdle the obstacles that naturally come with the change process and create a healthy culture that fosters team growth; and experience continuous client satisfaction by activating employee involvement. You can expect win-win situations in all areas of your life when you approach problems more resourcefully using the knowledge you'll gain from On Teams. Remember, teams are a process rather than a project; they're continuously evolving and growing.
