From Ken Blanchard, renowned management expert: "The Teamwork Chronicles provides sound advice for anyone who wants to build teamwork in the workplace." In the new book The Teamwork Chronicles, Steven H. Carney chronicles his experience with various teams and companies after being a company manager for 12 years. During this career change, he became an undercover observer of startling management and team dysfunction. The Teamwork Chronicles uses many colorful examples of these problems to provide valuable insights and lessons. Principles, techniques, and suggestions are added to improve the teamwork and performance of the modern workplace. Many of these situations are contrasted with his previous experience as the team-oriented manager of a manufacturing company. The book balances "how to" and "how not to" elements to give a sometimes blunt and credible view of the modern workplace-- one that many employees will recognize. The Teamwork Chronicles will empower employees who are concerned about the lack of teamwork and wake up managers who are not true team players.
