"Creating Effective Teams by Susan Wheelan is the team development book that I’ve been waiting forEasy to read and understand, it has something for everybody. For the manager, it clearly explains how teams actually work, what makes them productive and what the leader needs to do to help the team. It also includes tips on popular, but ineffective, steps to avoid." 

-- John McGlaughlin

"We see many school staffs and leadership teams which are simply stuck at a particular stage in their professional growth. Until this book, there has been a huge gap in user-friendly resources to help them become more productive. We are providing a copy for every school staff and leadership team with whom we work."
