Dyer has laid the groundwork for all subsequent books in the field of team building.

The book discusses the major new trends, including self-directed work teams, total quality initiatives, and cross cultural teams, and reviews the strengths and weaknesses of these new developments in team building. Throughout the book Dr. Dyer emphasizes the degree of commitment that managers and members of work teams must bring to the team-building process. For team building to succeed, managers must adopt a true team philosophy, take responsibility for team-building work, and become involved on a personal level.
