About the Book

Witty and enlightening accounts of team disasters and how they could have been avoided There are plenty of good books that will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about team theory. There are even more that show you how to create, manage, and work in a team. But, until now, there were none that focused entirely on team disasters and what to do about them. Written as a series of twenty self-contained stories, Team Traps chronicles team mishaps, disasters, and "near-death experiences," that have occurred at leading companies, including McDonnell Douglas, Apple Computer, K2 Skis, and Fisher Controls. In a compelling narrative style that combines wit, satire, and keen professional insight, Steven Rayner closely analyzes each situation and tells readers how to get the jump on problems that can cripple any team. Each story is followed by advice and guidelines based on Rayner's ten years of experience working closely with teams in companies across North America. * Innovative, actionable guidelines for trap-proofing any team * A "Team Workout Schedule" provides exercises teams can perform to keep in top form * Based on actual experiences of real-life companies, including many of the Fortune 500 STEVEN R. RAYNER (Freeland, Washington) is a principal with Rayner & Associates, a consulting and training firm specializing in helping organizations achieve higher levels of performance. His clients have included IBM, Microsoft, Allied Signal, Apple Computer, and AT&T.
