Most organizations see effective teamwork as essential to their success, but find that the reality of working in teams presents many practical difficulties. This text, based on rigorous research evidence, provides all the tools necessary to help teams overcome these difficulties, including case studies, discussion questions, exercises and questionnaires.

Drawing on the latest psychological research, Effective Teamwork examines the factors which affect team functioning both positively and negatively. For the second edition, the text has been updated to include:-

• New chapters on creating teams and conflicts in teams.
  
• New sections on introducing teamwork, on virtual team working and team working across national boundaries, on emotions in teams, and on trust within and between teams.
  
• More material on team leadership, on the sorts of tasks that are best done by teams, and on the relationship between working in teams and mental health.
