3D Team Leadership: A New Approach for Complex Teams
“Given the reality of today’s teams―global, remote, often 24/7―it is time for a fresh look at the topic. . . . [A] must-read.”―Jon Pershke, VP, Strategy, Transformation, & Customer Solutions, Lenovo
 
Many organizations believe that high-functioning teams hold the key to breakthrough thinking, superior customer service, and high-quality products. But, all too often, leaders and managers fail to support teams so that they can deliver on their promises. For instance, many leaders ask for teamwork, but only reward and evaluate individual performance; focus on the group at the expense of individual members; or leave team members to sort out their differences, leading to the formation of unhealthy cliques. 
 
In 3D Team Leadership, Bradley L. Kirkman and T. Brad Harris present a dynamic new model for maximizing team performance. Previous books have treated teams as groups of people working interdependently, an approach that overlooks two crucial components: the individuals who make up the team and the subgroups that form within and between teams. To create a fuller portrait of team behavior, Kirkman and Harris propose an innovative “3D” framework that takes into account all three factors. 
 
Drawing on their own research, best-in-class studies, and extensive consulting, they show leaders how to properly diagnose the state of their teams, hone in on the element that needs attention, and seamlessly shift focus among the three components of teamwork as time goes on. Delivering practical guidance rooted in scholarship, 3D Team Leadership is a thoughtful and straightforward guide for the complex challenge of teaming today.
 
“This handbook from two experts makes the latest evidence on team leadership accessible to anyone looking for insight in a messy and complex world.” ―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Think Again
