Teams are now cross-functional, cross-cultural, and even virtual. As a result, team trust is more vital than ever, and communications technology is critical. With team players often serving on multiple teams, leadership has become more important and more challenging.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this thoroughly revised and updated edition of his groundbreaking book, Glenn Parker analyzes these trends and shows how his concept of effective teamwork is even more relevant today. The fundamental question remains: What makes a good team player? Parker clearly demonstrates all the ways team players can adapt to today's challenges.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeam Players and Teamwork\u003c\/i\u003e provides specific, practical tools that will help both leaders and members identify their team player style—Contributor, Collaborator, Communicator, or Challenger. Parker explains how each style contributes to five key leadership functions—planning, communication, risk taking, problem solving, and decision making.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith guidelines for personal development and team-building strategies, \u003ci\u003eTeam Players and Teamwork\u003c\/i\u003e shows how effective teamwork ultimately leads to increased productivity, reduced costs, improved quality, innovation, better customer service, and more rapid commercialization of products.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jossey-Bass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990138536165,"sku":"NP9780787998110","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780787998110.jpg?v=1761786652","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/team-players-and-teamwork-isbn-9780787998110","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
