 Great Business Teams ... August 14, 2008

Great techniques for leaders to reach into their teams to identify strengths and barriers to high performance. More importantly, you gain insights into aligning behaviors with agreed upon actions that improve team effectiveness to achieve business results. Relevant and Actionable !
Excellent book August 4, 2008
Thomas A. Kolditz (West Point, NY)
Many books come across my desk as a department chair, and I send most to junior faculty to read. I held on to this one because I couldn't put it down. Very well written. Flawlessly edited. Full of content and references to business. In my last book about leadership In Extremis Leadership: Leading As If Your Life Depended On It (J-B Leader to Leader Institute/PF Drucker Foundation) I wrote about high performing teams in high risk contexts. But Guttman's book has much broader applicability and is laser focused on teams--it will soon be a classic among leaders and managers. It's the best book I read all summer. Great Business Teams will find its way into my classroom, but I'm even more excited about applying the ideas in this book to the teams that I help lead. This one's a gem. Tom Kolditz
Must read for all leaders July 30, 2008
Patrick (Beach Haven, NJ)
I am a small business owner who was very impressed with this book. It was very interesting reading about the team strategies that work best in corporate America.
Very insightful look at the mechanics of high-performance business teams July 24, 2008
Kenneth M. Kaplan (New York Metro Area)
I used to think that it was impossible to create a high performing business team. My thinking was guided by the old axiom that you cannot teach an old dog a new trick. This book totally changed my viewpoint by showing me not only how it can be done, but tangible proof that it works. I found this book to be insightful, practical, well-organized and extremely useful. I particularly enjoyed the discussion about "the five musts for building great organizations." This book should be required reading for all managers and executives.
How to build a team that will take to to the winner's box July 24, 2008
David E. Schenkel (New York City)
This book really brings it home. Using the experiences of real business teams as the backdrop for how "standout" teams are successfully created makes this book an easy read. Any business leader knows that building high performing teams is not a simple task. "Great Business Teams" takes you through the team process in an understandable step by step progression. In today's competitive arena, this book is a business leader's must read.
