Rather, it is about applying a concise set of guiding principles to each unique group situation—and doing so in the leader's own idiosyncratic way. Based on extensive research and using compelling examples ranging from orchestras to airline cockpit crews, \u003cem\u003eLeading Teams\u003c\/em\u003e identifies five essential conditions: a stable team, a clear and engaging direction, an enabling team structure, a supportive organisational context, and the availability of competent coaching, all of which greatly enhance the likelihood of team success.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book offers a practical framework that leaders can use to muster personal skills and organisational resources to create and sustain the five key conditions.

Not according to the authors of \u003cem\u003eSenior Leadership Teams\u003c\/em\u003e. They argue that in today's world of neck-snapping change, demands on leaders in top roles are rapidly outdistancing the capabilities of any one person, no matter how talented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result? Chief executives are turning to their enterprise's senior leaders for help. Yet many CEOs stumble when creating a leadership team. One major challenge is that senior executives often focus more on their individual roles than on the top team's shared work. Without the CEO's careful attention to setting the team up correctly, these high-powered managers often have difficulty pulling together to move their organisation forward. Sometimes they don't even agree about what constitutes the right path forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors explain how to determine whether your organisation needs a senior leadership team. Then, drawing on their study of over 100 top teams from around the world, they explain how to create a clear and compelling purpose for your team, get the right people on it, provide structure and support, and sharpen team members' competencies—and your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTimely and practical, this book enables you to create and sustain a leadership team whose members learn from one another while collaborating to pursue your company's objectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46998604218604,"sku":"9781422103364","price":78.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/8715383482694.jpg?v=1763222527"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/j-richard-hackman.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
