What you get

Chapter 1

Does Teamwork Really Matter?

What a pooled analysis of 31 healthcare team studies found, and how to read a result from one setting.

Chapter 2

Trust and Team Performance

What 112 studies covering 7,763 teams found about trust and performance, and habits that build it.

Chapter 3

Trust at a Distance

Why trust related more strongly to performance in virtual teams, the role of written records, and shared leadership.

Chapter 4

Conflict: Task, Relationship and Process

Three kinds of team conflict, what a meta-analysis found about their cost, and keeping arguments about the work from turning personal.

Chapter 5

Psychological Safety and Speaking Up

What two systematic reviews found about enabling safety to speak up, and why a single workshop is rarely enough.

Chapter 6

Disagreement That Helps: Conflict and Safety

A study of 117 project teams: task conflict went with better performance when psychological safety was high.

Chapter 7

Goals That Work for a Group

What a meta-analysis found about specific, difficult group goals, and the warning about individual targets.

Chapter 8

Learning as a Team

A randomised trial of team debriefing, its limits, and a simple review habit.

Chapter 9

Team Training in the Skies

A review of 58 accounts of aviation crew training: reactions, learning and behaviour improved, results went unmeasured.

Chapter 10

A Practice Routine for Your Team

Five if-then plans and a light monthly routine that turn the book into habit.

Chapter 11

Team Drills and Conversation Prompts

Conflict labels, goal rewrites, speak-up prompts, trust builders, meeting and hand-off templates, review scripts and scenarios, with sample answers. Practice material, not research.

Chapter 12

Team Health Check and Glossary

A 24-statement check across six areas, how to use it, a glossary and a first-month plan. Practice material, not research.

What makes this different

Every research claim names its study

Each research claim names the study, its size where the abstract gave it, and where it was done. A Sources section lists all 13.

Practice you can use this week

Drills, prompts, templates and review scripts are labelled as practice material, never passed off as research.

A team health check

Twenty-four statements across six areas to start a team conversation. It is not a validated test.
