A useful and thought-provoking little book of essays and articles on various facets of building great teams. Surprisingly easy and good read for a business book.

I love the HBR guides! They provide great practical tips for the workplace. I enjoyed this guide about collaboration and how we can better collaborate as teams at work.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for a copy to honestly review.

I’m a fan of Harvard Business Review Guides and the HBR articles on its .org website and the Dear HBR podcast. The information conveyed is always informative, well-researched and practical. Such is the case with this book, HBR Guide to Collaborative Teams. Collaboration has become a bit of a sticky situation in many organizations. Collaboration done right brings teams and organizations forward. Collaboration done poorly can worsen morale, make company objectives more difficult to attain, and even lead to divisive company politics.

This guide offers practical, effective advice to keep the focus on a shared purpose while decreasing conflict and competitive attitudes which can arise in disparate teams. If you are looking for practical tips and techniques to balance teams, motivate reluctant individuals among them, and maximize group competencies, I recommend this guide.

A practical guide to improving team collaboration. Most of the material reinforces what many business professionals know and could benefit from practicing more.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy.
