X-Teams

Więcej o książce

You build a team around top talent, fostering camaraderie and commitment to the mission. However, results may still fall short, lacking creativity and breakthrough ideas. While good teams develop confidence and solid processes, these internal dynamics can create a barrier to the outside world, hindering adaptability and value delivery. In this updated edition, the authors introduce an externally focused team model—the X-team—highlighting its relevance today. With a flexible membership and leadership structure, X-teams continuously reach outward to drive innovation. Featuring new examples and research from organizations like Microsoft, Takeda, and the Museum of Modern Art, the authors illustrate how to create X-teams that: adapt to market shifts, technologies, and competition; innovate swiftly by moving from idea generation to execution; and utilize 'distributed leadership' to tap into crucial information and expertise, regardless of location. In a complex and rapidly changing environment, where adaptability and creativity are essential for success and survival, this guide serves as a vital resource for building effective teams.
