Publisher's Synopsis
Testing the Limits of Teams provides the framework for implementing self–managed work teams in a health care setting and is the perfect companion and follow–up to Becker–Reems′ Self–Managed Work Teams in Health Care Organizations (AHA Press, 1994). This completely new book illustrates that through shared work and responsibility, employees and managers at all levels can devise, operate, and evaluate new systems for fulfilling organizational goals. The authors address and explain the opportunities and pitfalls along the road to self–management success and offer numerous cases and examples from teams throughout the health care industry.
