Many types of successful groups and teams share the same characteristics. What I discovered over a span of nearly sixty years was that successful teams and groups in music, theatre, sports, business, and government have many of the same characteristics! The book also draws on the experiences of the coaches, directors, players, and team members I have interviewed for this book, including a successful team at New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. Since 1983, I have worked with hundreds of teams to plan and manage their projects. My previous publications include six books on project and team management: Successful Project Management, published by the American Management Association, The Complete Planning Guide for Microsoft Project, published by Butterworth-Heinemann, Successful Time Management, Planning and Managing Projects Using Microsoft Project, and two editions of How to Plan Any Project. The second edition was a best seller for the Project Management Institute.
