Discover the secrets to high performing teams from the success stories of sport, military and restaurants - and what to do if your team isn't working. Teams are everywhere: At work we are part of many different teams: the department team, the sales team, the planning team and the project team. At play we join the football team, the netball team, the swimming team, the bridge team and the dance team. Socially we support teams, watch teams and are served by teams in restaurants, hotels, shops and at events. But how much do we really know about them, what makes a successful team and why do teams fail?

Utilising the authors' access to leaders and team members working in sport, the military, business and the charity sector, The Leadership of Teams/i looks at all aspects of teamwork, focusing on the role of the leader and examining the most common challenges facing both teams and leaders.
