Teaming

New breakthrough thinking in organizational learning, leadership, and change Continuous improvement, understanding complex systems, and promoting innovation are all part of the landscape of learning challenges today's companies face. Amy Edmondson shows that organizations thrive, or fail to thrive, based on how well the small groups within those organizations work. In most organizations, the work that produces value for customers is carried out by teams, and increasingly, by flexible team-like entities. The pace of change and the fluidity of most work structures means that it's not really about creating effective teams anymore, but instead about leading effective teaming. Teaming shows that organizations learn when the flexible, fluid collaborations they encompass are able to learn. The problem is teams, and other dynamic groups, don't learn naturally. Edmondson outlines the factors that prevent them from doing so, such as interpersonal fear, irrational beliefs about failure, groupthink, problematic power dynamics, and information hoarding. With Teaming , leaders can shape these factors by encouraging reflection, creating psychological safety, and overcoming defensive interpersonal dynamics that inhibit the sharing of ideas. Further, they can use practical management strategies to help organizations realize the benefits inherent in both success and failure. Presents a clear explanation of practical management concepts for increasing learning capability for business results Introduces a framework that clarifies how learning processes must be altered for different kinds of work Explains how Collaborative Learning works, and gives tips for how to do it well Includes case-study research on Intermountain healthcare, Prudential, GM, Toyota, IDEO, the IRS, and both Cincinnati and Minneapolis Children's Hospitals, among others Based on years of research, this book shows how leaders can make organizational learning happen by building teams that learn.

Hvorfor får vi ikke automatisk gode resultater, når vi sammensætter et team af dygtige personer? Forklaringen skal findes i teamkulturen – og i evnen til at samarbejde på tværs af forskelle. Vi må skabe ”teaming”, som er en social kompetence til at spille hinanden gode. Denne bog introducerer en ny tilgang til teamledelse, hvor fællesskabet og kulturen er i fokus. Det er et kursskifte i forhold til den udbredte tendens til individualisering. Læseren får en grundig og handlingsorienteret præsentation af teaming – og originale bud på, hvordan vi skal forstå de menneskelige dynamikker i team, så vi kan skabe resultater og et godt arbejdsmiljø i vores komplekse organisationer. Bogen indeholder ny teori, modeller, cases og 38 redskaber, som læseren kan bruge til at skabe teaming i typiske situationer i teamets hverdag. Den henvender sig til ledere af team på alle niveauer og til teamdeltagere, der påtager sig ansvar i teamets arbejdsproces. Og til alle, der er på udkig efter alternativer til de dominerende teamkoncepter. Til håndbogen hører hjemmesiden Teamingbogen.dk, hvor man hente bogens modeller og materiale til mange af redskaberne.
