Sometimes "magic" happens in a team - the orchestra that turns in a transcendental performance, the athletic team whose members come to play as one, the cockpit crew that somehow manages to save a flight that should have been doomed. Magic is rare in teams and cannot be programmed. But sometimes it does happen. This talk identifies the factors that differentiate great from ineffectual teams, and suggests a new model of team leadership that has implications both for group research and for leadership practice.
J. Richard Hackman is the Edgar Pierce Professor of Social and Organizational Psychology at Harvard University.

He has consulted to a variety of organizations on issues having to do work design, leadership, and team effectiveness. In 2004, his book "Leading Teams" won the Academy of Management's Terry Award for the most outstanding management book of the year.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
