excellent writing and format. -Dr. Benito Garza, South Texas College This book provides an exploration into how managers and employees work in groups for the completion of organizational objectives. Emphasis is placed on the growing dependency in understanding the behavior and the personality of communities of practice (teams) in the workplace. The book equips students with insights regarding the ability to manage work teams, operate and navigate teams successfully, and to obtain successful results via team dynamics. Researchers tell us that opportunities to succeed need to be more abundant in today's workplaces; the author of this book is the proverbial knock and invitation for students to open that door. -Fernan R.

It is easy to read and is organized into chapters that actually make sense.
