For most of us, working in a team is no dream. That’s easier to fix than you might imagine.

‘Team’ competes with ‘change’ for gold medal as the most over-sold word in the corporate lexicon. As a result, what meaning it once had has long since dissipated.

We’re all told that we’re in a team, usually several at the same time. But just because we share the same manager, or canteen, doesn’t make us a team.

The promised benefits of teamwork can be realised only when we have put in place the factors required for a ‘real’ team. Research shows that people who work in pseudo teams actually underperform and enjoy work less than those doing the same role but who don’t work in a team at all.

This Go large reveals what constitutes a ‘real’ team and what to do to make sure that you’re working as one.

At the end of the Go large you will have:

• Discovered how to spot the difference between real and pseudo teams and the consequence on performance of each.
• Explored what you can do make sure you’re working in a real team (and when you’re better off as a solo player).
• Uncovered a practical way to manage the evolution of your teams from kick-off to kick-ass.
• Delved into the structures and customs that great teams are built on.
