Nope

so I did not like it to start off

I had to have this book for school, so I did not like it to start off. I felt like I was reading off of a grocery list. Personally, I'd would not have bought it if I didn't have to.

Not written for small businesses

23 May 2010 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this book to help me build high performance teams in my small business. Not a good book for that.
It is written well and has good ideas, just not geared to small business.

A very disappointing book

15 October 2010 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was hoping to get a book to improve my teamwork skills but is disappointed. The book has lots of bullets showing you all the things that everyone would have known without reading it, such as the responsiblity of the team leaders and team members, how to respond if a team member comes in late or answers cell phone during the meeting, etc. I would hope the author to write down some real team work skills, such as how to actively listen to the team members, how to find the best questions to ask, how to speak up your point without worrying that people will laugh at you, how you should respond when you do not agree with what your supervisor is saying, etc.

A MUST HAVE FOR TEAM BUILDING!

20 September 2007 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Paperback

What an excellent guide for any company that currently has SDWT or is contemplating the idea. A must have! This book will guide you through the process, covering all topics from beginning to end. I love the completeness of the meeting management section! If you have ever sat through an unproductive, b-o-r-i-n-g meeting and desperate for productive, engaging meetings this book is for you! Although weary of teaming in the beginning, the use of the concepts in this book has increased productivity to 30%, we are all on board now! The transformation is sometimes painful and not at all easy, but in the end is worth it. Higher productivity, employee morale, product quality and employee engagement is all yours if you stick to the program! Avid business reader, this book is priceless!!

Excellent Resource for the Long Term

3 July 2010 - Published on Amazon.com

Format: Paperback

I own several of Mackin's books and they are very useful resources. She writes from experience, not from an academic or research perspective. She works in the field with organizations helping them build and sustain teams. So, you know her recommendations are based on things that have been tested and worked with real teams in real companies. As a colleague who also works in the area of teamwork, I have a very high regard for Deborah's work Team Players and Teamwork, Completely Updated and Revised: New Strategies for Developing Successful Collaboration
