Summary: A text that serves the author only
Comment: This is one of the worst texts I have read. It reads more like a marketing brochure for a "team building" consultant rather than giving practical advice on actual team building. Every dilemma is resolved by consulting with a team building consultant, or facilitator.

Of much greater value is "The Wisdom of Teams" by Katzenbach and Smith - a book I would give 5 stars for thoroughness and practicality.

Rating: 5
Summary: Powerfull and easy to digest
Comment: This book is easy to read and understand - if only teams were that easy. Dyer has covered all major topics in team development and managed to do it in a text you can acutally apply in your everyday team development efforts. Dyer explains why companies have turned to using teams and the dimensions of the team, when to use a team and what type of team you should use, what happens when teams make unhealthy agreements and the behaviors you will see. There is information on maturity, culture, organizaitons, and building healthly teams with diveristy. Easy to use suggestions, questions, and statements help you set up team building efforts and identify when a team needs help or should be disbanded. This is a handbook - every team member should own one.
