This book is based on practical and applied knowledge gained from years of hands-on experience in developing, implementing and anchoring team performance systems across cultures, countries and a wide range of industries. It has evolved from on-the-job work done by Sacher Associates, a productivity consulting group that applies basic performance systems in client companies to improve productivity and quality. Thousands of executives, managers, team leaders and employees attend workshops run by Sacher Associates to improve team and organisational performance. The basic message of the book is that organisations must recognise the competitive advantages from playing as a team. They should understand the key to sustained success is for their people, working as a team, to improve continuously the delivery of value added outputs or services to customers and provide total stakeholder satisfaction. And with this realisation, know how to put it into effect. This book shows you how to achieve this elusive goal. With "Success Through Team Performance", Monty and Merryl Sacher have produced a disciplined, systematic approach to developing teams that perform better now -- and keep getting better. The book aims to isolate the basic principles evident in high performing teams and shows how they are practically applied. The goal is to satisfy any group of people who work together to produce a value-added end result. It is presented in an easy-to-read format which has been used so successfully to translate business principles into clear, concise pathways for success.
