Drawing from their study of 120 top teams from around the world, the authors explain how CEOs, as well as senior executives themselves, can answer six critical questions. First and foremost—Is a leadership team necessary? (The need for a team is not a foregone conclusion.) If so, what is its purpose? How will you ensure that you have the right people on the team? How should the team be structured? What organizational support will the team need? And finally, how will the team and its members receive on-going coaching?
Whether you are the head of a business, government agency, or not-for-profit, this book will help you make better leadership choices, based on solid research that reveals what it takes to make top teams great.
