Team Effectiveness — Linking Up Psychology, Culture and Strategy

Chapter 2 in The Power of Global Teams, 2013, pp 29-62 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Most senior executives have at some point participated in a team development exercise. The largest organizations spend hundreds of thousands of pounds or dollars every year developing their teams, at every level of the organization. A senior researcher with one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies recently sighed “another one of my boss’s team development off-sites is coming up, at another five-star hotel, flying everyone in and probably having another ‘carrying poles around the garden exercise’ as part of it.” Despite this joking reference, he also said that the team off-sites had produced a much better glue, which helped a closer international research collaboration.
