There Is an I in Team
Autor Mark De Ronden Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 iul 2012
În contextul economic actual, unde complexitatea sarcinilor depășește adesea capacitatea unui singur individ, organizațiile se confruntă cu un paradox frustrant: dețin specialiști de excepție care, însă, eșuează în a produce valoare colectivă. Notăm cu interes că There Is an I in Team nu este un simplu manual de motivare, ci o investigație riguroasă asupra modului în care talentele individuale pot fi orchestrate eficient. Putem afirma că Mark de Rond, profesor la Cambridge, reușește să deconstruiască mitul conform căruia o echipă ideală este formată strict din cei mai buni performeri individuali. Merită menționat că autorul folosește experiența sa vastă în studierea echipelor de elită — de la sportivi olimpici la echipe chirurgicale în zone de conflict — pentru a oferi soluții pragmatice liderilor care gestionează personalități dificile, dar indispensabile. Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Why Teams Win despre psihologia succesului va găsi aici o completare critică: o analiză despre cum conflictul, atunci când este gestionat corect, devine un motor al performanței, nu un obstacol. Spre deosebire de abordările care pun accent doar pe armonie, Mark De Rond demonstrează de ce competența este uneori sacrificată în favoarea simpatiei și cum datele statistice nu pot înlocui complet intuiția umană în procesul de selecție. Lucrarea se distinge printr-un ton autoritar și o structură bazată pe dovezi, oferind un cadru prin care potențialul latent al unei echipe poate fi transformat într-un avantaj competitiv măsurabil.

Despre autor
Mark De Rond este profesor de Strategie și Organizații la Judge Business School, Universitatea din Cambridge.

În lucrarea sa Doctors at War, a documentat activitatea unei echipe chirurgicale în Afganistan, iar în Strategic Alliances as Social Facts a explorat paradoxurile colaborărilor economice. Interesul său pentru situații limită se reflectă și în Dark Justice, o analiză a grupurilor de justițiari civili. Această experiență diversă îi conferă autoritate în analizarea comportamentului uman sub presiune.
Descriere scurtă
We’ve all worked with one—a smart and immensely talented individual who brings enormous value to the organization. The problem? He’s an awful teammate.
So as a leader, do you consider this key player toxic or irreplaceable?
There Is an I in Team explores the relationship between individual and team—asking the question, How can we harness the talent of individual performers into a cohesive, productive team that creates overall value? And why are so many of our assumptions about teams wrong?
Business challenges like this one mimic many of the issues facing sports teams, though admittedly the sports metaphors most commonly used in business are trite and superficial comparisons. What’s needed are real and substantial lessons that managers actually can take from the world of high-performance sports and use in an everyday work environment. This book meets that need.
University of Cambridge professor Mark de Rond has combined cutting-edge social and psychological research with rich stories from world-class sports teams, coaches, athletes, and even business executives. The result challenges our most popular notions about teams. Equally critical, it teaches an innovative way to transform team potential into measurable business advantage.
You’ll learn:
• Why there is an I in team—and why that matters
• Why an ideal team is rarely comprised of the best individual performers
• Why conflict happens even when intentions are perfectly aligned
• Why likability can trump competence even in technically sophisticated environments
• Why a focus on interpersonal harmony can actually hurt team performance
• Why data and sophisticated statistical tools are unlikely to eliminate the role of intuition
At once readable and teachable, There Is an I in Team will strengthen your understanding of the issues that permeate teams of high-performers, and it will help you apply these new insights to your own work—giving you and your team an edge over the competition.

ADVANCE PRAISE for There Is an I in Team:
Steve Hollis, Senior Partner, KPMG—
“Very few business books make me stop and think. De Rond’s latest work very skillfully translates the drivers of team sport excellence and positions them in the more complex business arena. A must-read for anyone striving for competitive advantage.”
Edwin Moses, Chairman and CEO, Ablynx nv—

Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School; author, Teaming: How Organizations Learn, Innovate, and Compete in the Knowledge Economy—

Tom James, MBE, Olympic Gold Medalist, Rowing—
“This is an incredibly good book that challenges the current, and almost universal, definition of what a team is. De Rond’s examination and reflections on human behavior within sport provides a highly intuitive insight into what really makes a team successful. A very enjoyable read.”
Glenn Earle, Former Chief Operating Officer, Goldman Sachs International—
“Intriguing and accessible. De Rond uses research, anecdotes and analysis from the world of sport to identify the combination of art and science necessary to develop and sustain a winning team. He shows how the greatest leaders motivate the individuals that make up their teams to work together, inspire each other, perform at the highest level, and win.”
