Senior Leadership Teams

If you're going to write a book about teamwork, how better to do it than to write as a team? That must have been the thinking behind Senior Leadership Teams, which was written by three Hay Group executives, Ruth Wageman, Debra A. Nunes and James A. Burruss, and Harvard professor J. Richard Hackman. Their book's focus is on the direct reports of a CEO, who, by evolving definition, can no longer handle the assigned responsibilities alone. That's why synergy in his or her team is vital to the company's success. The book, which is part of Harvard Business School Press and the Center for Public Leadership's Leadership for the Common Good series, takes readers step by step through the team-construction process, as well as through the subsequent steps of leadership and coaching. So if your team isn't a well-oiled machine, perhaps it's time to slide this one under the boss' door.
