Book Description

Want to achieve spectacular success in your personal and business life? Looking for ways to mold and capture superior teamwork, cohesion, and bone-deep dedication? Put Real Dream Teams on your list of must reads.
From the headlines used to describe groups such as the 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball team, to Hollywood production moguls, to attorneys clashing in major criminal cases, we have all heard the phrase "dream teams" used and misused. Real Dream Teams
is a book that focuses on extraordinary efforts by conditioned winners who have achieved outstanding results through what the authors call "synergistic group dynamics."
Let Real Dream Teams point you in the direction of becoming a more effective team leader and team member. Read of team efforts and extraordinary practices and results as demonstrated by recipients of the Nobel Prize, the Medal of Honor, national championships, and best-in-industry awards. Take tips from those who have achieved their membership in Real Dream Teams:

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairly Detailed (and good) Rah-Rah, January 3, 2000
This review is from: Real Dream Teams: Seven Practices Used by World-Class Team Leaders to Achieve Extraordinary Results (St Lucie) (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book for several reasons. It inspired me to hear the stories of real dream teams and their leaders. These are real dream teams - no question. And it gave a very good introduction/overview of seven practices needed to move teams to become high performing teams. I also enjoyed it because it gave real life examples for each of its practices. It covers the basics and even introduces some new basics, which really makes it valuable. The book is a lot of hype and sales pitches for teamwork, and didn't cover much detail, or the nitty gritty hard work of making teams effective, but as an introduction, I haven't seen better. I'm using it as a textbook for a class and my students LOVE it. Well worth the read.

5.0 out of 5 stars a team effort, July 15, 2010
By 
This review is from: Real Dream Teams: Seven Practices Used by World-Class Team Leaders to Achieve Extraordinary Results (St Lucie) (Hardcover)
Yes, you've heard all the expressions- "There's no "I" in team", "It's a total team effort", etc.

This book sums up the importance and the understanding of how to make a team successful. As a result you can become a leader. A book like this is actually an important aspect of life that has deeper meaning than many people probably realize. It focuses on working together as a team. How often does this take place throughout the course of your life? *Several* times. So yes, you should probably read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best "real" team-building book I've read, February 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Real Dream Teams: Seven Practices Used by World-Class Team Leaders to Achieve Extraordinary Results (St Lucie) (Hardcover)
Real Dream Teams provides excellent insight into the underlying thread that makes teams win. The 7 practices are not only identified and articulated but related to amazing accounts of success. Truly inspiring, yet at the same time very practical. I feel more equipped to motivate and lead.
