Abstract

It''s hard enough to guide the disparate mix of talent that comprises long-standing groups. But when you are required to focus the efforts of people you may not even know and who may not know one another - and to do it immediately - the challenges are multiplied. To help managers address these challenges, the authors have developed Rapid Team Building, an approach based on many years of organizing and leading interdisciplinary project teams, both as managers and consultants. They have successfully applied this approach in a variety of organizational settings in which the need to achieve critical goals quickly and effectively with newly formed teams was essential. The approach comprises six tools to help managers form a group of employees into a unified team and get them down to work quickly and effectively.
