New Business Book Summary Available for Team Genius

April 29, 2016 - PRLog -- Rich Karlgaard and Michael S. Malone have spent years researching and analyzing successful teams and powerful organizations in order to develop a new science for managing them. In today's rapidly changing global economy, the authors believe that the stakes for team performance and outstanding team success will be rising higher than ever before. In Team Genius, the idea of a successful team is broken down systematically and scientifically to uncover what it takes to come out on top.

According to the authors:

• The world of technology-driven change is speeding up at a pace that is difficult to manage. Teams that are run with maneuverability will lead to the greatest overall success.

• Teams appear throughout all of history -- they are at the heart of what it means to be human. The human brain is evolutionarily designed to connect with and adjust to others' emotions and perspectives.

• Diverse teams are more successful because of the wider range of strengths and skills among their members. However, although most research suggests that diverse teams produce successful results, diverse teams can become volatile if they are not managed properly.

• Effective team leaders clarify and give meaning to their teams' tasks, bind teams together as single performing units, and establish the rules of team conduct.

• Pairs are the most basic form of human teams. For managers and leaders of teams, knowing and being able to identify the various types of pairs is essential to creating the strongest teams possible.

• There is a "controlled randomness" that needs to occur when working with trios. Without proper management, trios can become toxic.

• All teams have life cycles, beginning with the team's formation and ending with possible aftermath. Teams should be celebrated and honored for all the work they do, regardless of outcomes.
