Features: A best-selling business book on the Financial Times and New York Times! For companies striving to maintain a competitive edge and any organization, efficiency and team morale are essential for success. This book meets the needs of modern organizations by providing practical methods to ensure effective communication within the organization while maximizing its intelligence level. Team efficiency and morale are necessary conditions for success. Harvard University professor David Perkins, in his book The Round Table, uses the classic story of King Arthur's Round Table to reveal how to build an efficient team through effective collaboration and communication. The book uses numerous examples to elaborate on the various problems encountered in communication and collaboration among team members, between bosses and employees, and helps teams find the best solutions to ensure their intelligence level is maximized, the best, to face today's increasingly fierce and ruthless competition. In The Round Table, Harvard University professor David Perkins uses the metaphor of the Round Table to reveal the importance of effective collaboration and communication for today's intelligent organizations. Traditional hierarchical systems and departmental silos cannot cope with the complexity of modern businesses because business leaders must rely on the commitment and professional skills of those around them. Today, successful business and political leaders understand that they must encourage communication and collaboration, and the decision-making process must be open to all who can offer insights.
