This text provides a basic primer on how to create successful and effective teams. It is appropriate for large, medium, or small non-profit or for-profit organizations. The practical tips included in this book detail a wide array of team-oriented helpful hints. These practical application tools can be utilized to improve teams if they already exist. If teams do not exist, it provides a step-by-step process in creating a team-oriented environment, such as how to create a team culture in the organization and a specific organizational design that will make teams more effective. The orientation of this book offers a paradigm for selecting and managing teams. It describes exactly how to match the right people for each team. Each team player has two roles to bring to a team - their functional / professional role based on their expertise, and a team competency role that is based on their innate personal strengths. The book describes how to leverage each team member's functional / professional-based competencies with a set of personality-based competencies that can translate into a particular team role they would best play to make teams effective and successful.
