About the Book and Topic:
This book and CD-ROM provide readers with a tested, step-by-step measurement system that can be customized for any team. Case studies culled from hundreds of teams that have successfully used this approach illustrate how the system, designed to align team performance with organizational strategy, works in action. Designed for anyone charged with establishing accountability systems for self-managing or supervisor-led work teams, this books also examines the “big picture” issues such as linking team performance measures to overall organizational strategy and includes a chapter on team incentives.
