Book: The Art of Teams

Teams are everywhere now, the more organizations embrace agility, the more team oriented structures they build. The new book by Ralph van Roosmalen - The Art of Teams – is the great reading for all who are interesting in forming and understanding the teams.

“Being reliable as a team is not just saying what you do and doing what you say. It is much more. It is about making realistic forecasts for your stakeholders, having no (perceived) loafing or slacking in the team, and being committed to acting like a professional. Accept the decisions made in the team. When a team is not acting reliably, it will negatively affect its relations with the stakeholders, and performance will go down-as will team morale and commitment.”

Working with teams require different leadership skills than organizing individuals. The agile leaders are creating environments where collaboration can flourish and where teams creates a natural unit. They build environments full of trust and transparency. They are catalysts. They are good at working with teams and networks, and they encourage people to take responsibility and ownership and become leaders.
