In the 5th edition: As a team leader or manager, make your team even more successful! Team and project work is part of a new work paradigm that completely redefines the way work and performance are delivered. It is detrimental that team and project work is often misunderstood and implemented incorrectly: some place great importance on the soft factors of teamwork, while others only consider the hard factors as significant. Additionally, many leaders believe that teams should be able to self-manage and organize themselves. The consequences of these misconceptions are often disastrous or at least highly frustrating for everyone involved. The actual leadership performance lies in the situationally appropriate consideration and management of all three aspects. In this book, you will learn how to work efficiently and successfully as a leader, team, or project manager.
