Management Teams is required reading for managers concerned with achieving the best results from those who report to them. It is one of the most widely-read, imaginative and influential books on this vital area of management research and was cited by the Financial Times as one of the top 50 business books of all time.

Now in its third edition it has been completely rewritten and fully updated for managers and trainers, with succinct, practical information which demonstrates how to apply management theory learned into practical action to make a real difference in the workplace.
