Robin J, Reviewer
James Scouller has written a trilogy and this is book one. In this book he walks the reader through the psychological make up of various types of teams. If you already have a team this information would be helpful in evaluating your team and how to use the strategies discussed further in the trilogy to accomplish a winning team. If you are in the process of building a team the information in this book would be a great tool to have when deciding on team members. If you are leaving team, this information would be an important reflective tool. This book does a wonderful job providing a framework for strategies that when put to use would create an unstoppable dynamic team capable of a lot of success.

How to build winning teams was a fast paced read jam packed with information. It is part of a series, and I think reading all would be most beneficial, but overall a very good read.
