5.0 out of 5 stars A useful tool for leaders, June 1, 2000

Cristina Perez (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tips for Teams: A Ready Reference for Solving Common Team Problems (Paperback)

This is a reference guide to common teams problems written in a very simple, comprehensive language. I found it easy to find the problem I face with and need to get an advice about. Most of the suggestions presented by the authors can be put in practice right away. I recommend this book to those leaders that need a quick approach to team problems and don't have enough time to research in long and broad text books.
