"I follow the 9 Powerful Practices of Really Great Teams model not simply because it works so well, but also because it is so sensible, so easily understood by team members, and so implementable. The book is impressive in how applicable it is to real situations, in real organizations, involving real team-building issues. I return to it often to get grounded once again in the core principles of teamwork that Kohn and O'Connell advocate."

Increasingly, organizations count on project teams to develop products and deliver services to their customers. Consequently, effective teamwork and team leadership are integral components of an organization’s success. In 9 Powerful Practices of Really Great Teams, Stephen E. Kohn and Vincent D.

Kohn and O’Connell bring these proven strategies to life with real-world examples drawn from decades of experience.
