The Self-Directed Teams training system can help you achieve the breakthrough performance achievable by these uncommon work groups. It saves time during new team start-ups by minimizing confusion and apprehension about the changes to come. And, it builds enthusiasm by creating a common vision of where teams are headed, how to get there and why.The program relates experiences from team members at all work levels and top management. It features the fascinating story of self-directed teams at the San Diego Zoo: how the Zoo's acclaimed reorganization of its core business – its animal exhibits – prompted dramatic changes to its traditional, hierarchical, union-based working structure.
