The effective use of teams has long been one of the hottest topics

this crucial subject, from some of the country's most
prominent writers on the subject, including Patrick M. Lencioni and

Leader journal--form a kaleidoscope of ideas and inspirations for
how teamwork can be improved in your organization. You'll

A number themes appear within. One particularly important theme is
communication. This is especially true of Ichak Adizes'
"Communication Strategies for Leading Teams," but also
in the contributions from John Gallagher, Lisa Haneberg, Laurence
Haughton, Howard M. Guttman, Jon R. Katzenbach, Douglas K. Smith,
and Carol Sturman. Another is decision making, particularly in Don
Maruska's "Making Great Team Decisions," but also
elaborated on by Haughton, Guttman, Adizes, and Jack Uldrich.
